Slaughter at Mortimers Cross

[Old Guy]

I organized a loose version of Mortimers Cross for a Wars of the Roses battle at my local club, Lancaster Wargames, both players were new to the rules so I umpired to the best of my ability, you never really understand a set until you play often, which I don't with these, Poleaxed 2.

In typical WotR fashion at least one man had to do his own thing, and it was Thomas Howard for the Yorkists, who single-handed ignored his orders and rushed for the enemy, who were more than happy to oblige him in a fight. Despite this the rest caught up and a huge melee occurred across the battle field. Within a short space of time the Yorkists lost one lord captured and three dead, while the Lancastrians had three cut down, fifty per cent  of the nobility present met their ends. No namby pamby skirmish here.
