War of the Roses: Yorkist v Lancaster
This scenario was deliberately set up to be a head to head encounter between 2 high quality retinue War of the Roses armies. The Lancaster and Yorkist forces were very similar in composition with only a few differences. The Lancaster army had 3 units of ‘C’ class crossbow with pavisses and 2 units o...

Samurai v French 100 Years War
After the Samurai’s army defeat of the Ming Chinese in the previous game I thought it would be a good idea to pitch the same Samurai army against a different type of opposition. And so, a French 100 Years War army was chosen, again to the same points value, (250 points), and like the previous game, ...

Ming Chinese v Samurai
This club game was always going to be a brain teaser in that the terrain layout which was chosen before the armies were allocated to the players was always going to dictate the course of the game. The scattering of 3 and 4 hex areas of woodland and the rolling landscape created by the numerous hills...

High Elves v Barbarians (non Fantasy!!)
This game would be aptly described as a non-fantasy fantasy game. In other words the two fantasy armies are fantasy in name only as all the fantasy elements were removed – no flyers, magic, elementals, giants etc. We managed to complete 2 games in the evening, switching the players and terrain aroun...

WOTR Tudor v Yorkist (2 games)
This was a classic War of The Roses encounter between 2 retinue armies of ‘B’ class professionals! The terrain was pretty open with an 8 hex hill towards the Yorkist table edge and a road to enable swift movement of units from flank to flank. Towards the Tudor table edge was a useful 4 hex wood and ...

Teutonic Order v Hungarian
This scenario was designed to be a head-to-head battle between two armies with very large contingents of heavy cavalry. The Teutonic order had 5 units of ‘A’ class heavy cavalry plus 3 units of mounted crossbow. Their infantry consisted of ‘B’ class spearmen and crossbows equipped with pavisses. The...

Re: Stakes / Broken Ground / Horde
Hi, Sorry about the delayed response - things have been rather busy at this end! 1. We play that stakes can cover just 2 hex sides- usually the 2 directly in front of the unit. However, the stakes can be moved and re-planted in another 2 hex sides provided that the unit undertakes no other activity ...

Mongol v Korean
This club game pitted a medieval Mongol army against a Korean army both to a 266 points value. The dice dictated that Tony and James had the Mongols and Chris, Tim and I the Koreans. The terrain was chosen and set out before the armies were known by the players and the scattering of small areas of w...

Ottoman v Ming Chinese
The dice decided the players, armies, choice of table edge for deployment and first move. The rolling resulted in Tim and Tony taking the Ottomans and Chris and I the Chinese. Chris also won the roll for choice of table edge, second deployment and first move. So it was first blood to our Chinese wit...
