1471, Tewkesbury and Barnett.  Cannons, mercenaries and the death of Warwick.

Northhampton and Bosworth make for interesting games if you go on the latest research.

I personally think you have to view it as a whole as weapons and tactics didn't change apart from the occasional addition of some exotic troops like handgunners, kern, pikes
