King Stephen and the Anarchy
« on: February 17, 2018, 01:15:19 PM »
I've just got this new book from author Chris Peers:

http://www.waterstonesmarketplace.com/booksearch?isbn=9781473863675

Where I wouldn't normally flag up a historical book, Chris is a dedicated wargamer, so this book might be of more use to Medieval gamers than other books.

I'm reading it this weekend, so I'll find out if I'm right or not

Looks interesting- thank you for the heads up. Stephen & Matilda by Jim Bradbury (I think that's the title) is a decent read on the subject.

I bought his Offa book several years ago from you and wasn’t disappointed.

Let us know how you find it as it’s a period I’m particularly interested in.

Enjoying it so far. The amount of Matildas is hard work. It's also funny that the kind of Medieval army I'd like isn't quite the army that Chris says fought at the time. Darn it.
