... The shot shows clearly the result of the combat  between Anty's  force  and the evil Sir John of Snowden. Sir John managed to beat and completely destroy Anty's rescuing force. The attackers were free to launch a full scale assault on the castle!

Thank you... we used Daniel Mersey's Lion Rampant, Osprey publications. An easy-to-play and exciting set of rules.

I'll reply here as there appears to be a duplicate thread and this has the most posts.  Looks like a lot of fun.

Did you make any adaptions to Lion Rampant for the siege aspects?  eg how did you handle the battering rams, wall, siege tower, ladders, etc

Yes, Harry made some adaptations to Lion Rampant which worked quite well to help us see a siege with this ruleset.

Dear friend!
You did a great job with the pictures, nice presentation of the game!
As defenders of the castle we were unfortunately wiped out  :-[
I even challenged Sir George (having the attribute of dueling master) but even this did not help us buy time...
It was a nail-biting game, I thank Harry and you for inviting me!
We had an enjoyable day and I was glad to see you all after so much time in confinement!

Is it possible to get a copy of the siege rules you created? I would love to try them out. Thank you in advance.
