Title: Agincourt demo at Royal Armouries
Post by: painterman on April 24, 2016, 09:09:17 PM
The Leeds Royal Armouries put on a gaming weekend, to link to their 600th anniversary diorama being installed, this weekend.

There were about a dozen HYW themed games on - mix of demo and participation - on the saturday we re-ran Agincourt (with Stuart Mulligan and Stephen hall leading the French nobility towards the arrow storm and stakes). Rules were Hail Ceaser.

You can check out more pics and the outcome on my Harness and Array blog - http://harness-and-array.blogspot.co.uk/

Wonderful! :o

...It makes me almost regret that the Duke of Brittany arrived too late (on purpose) to take part in this battle.  lol

I went along on the Saturday as part of the Harrogate Wargames Club posse with our Harfleur game (using the Lion Rampant rules).
Yours was without doubt the best looking game  :o  :)   Quite inspiring.  Loved the keep/castle, just looked brilliant.  Where did it come from ?

Took a few photos of it :)

Hello Vulture
Many thanks for the pics (and complimentary words). The castle is Hudson and Allen model (as per your Harfleur walls) with heavy conversion work done by John Boadle a few years ago (wooden pallisade, new top tower with gothic windows, bruchete etc).
All the best, Simon.
