So what do you do when your board on Boxing Day. Stand lines of soldiers up.
Definitely not skirmish rules numbers way to high.

Saxon army so far, 52 Huscarl and 274 select Fyrd. 2 figures seem to have go AWOL or I never had enough.

Yup...definitely not skirmishing!

To the Strongest. Unit size and basing not important.

Advanced Impetus would be my choice, works well for the period, the sheildwall is tough to crack as a norman

I agree with SteveBurt - To The Strongest. We use these rules for playing Crusades and they are great.

Love it... 'I found a box of soldiers, I forgot I had'!

Mr Faversham. Full story. 20+ years ago my ex went after monetary value of my soldiers, so I squirrelled some away to my mums. Few years ago had to sell mums house to pay nursing home fees.
Boxes came back here and went into loft. Now I want to move next years, so it’s explore time.

Thinking of new thread, “forgotten armies”. Yes I’ve found more uncompleted armies. And not only 25/28mm.

Oooh, good point...... I'd forgotten (no pun intended)

We ran this Gate Fulford, The Forgotten Battle of 1066 game in conjunction with Gripping Beast in the early 2000's at Claymore- won best demo game.
