Another great battle, another great report! I am always impressed by the research you do and the effort you put in certainly pays off! Do you base your OoB purely on Poleaxed?  I particularly like the special rules you come up with for each scenario, not to mention that your games look fanatstic!

I have a bad case of prescient nostalgia. The future's not what it used to be.

Thank you Sir

The OOb's commanders are based on Poleaxed but I then create the troops they command a0 based on what we have and b) what fits with NMTBH.

As far as the special rules for each scenario I do a lot of reading up on each battle via internet and try and work out how this can be incoprporated into the game. Still struggling with Bosworth and it is being fought next week !

Andy Callan would love you to do Stoke Field, he refers to it as his "local battle"!

Just saying;)
