I am glad to hear it Darrol! I would certainly value your opinion. DM me your e mail address and I will send the rules
I have a bad case of prescient nostalgia. The future's not what it used to be.

This Sunday, we took the game to the table and played three scenarios throughout the day. I am pleased to report that it works, it is fun and we both want to play it again!

Just read the blog post.
Absolutely fantastic. Very,very inspiring.
Love the Claret and Blue colours of Gaston Villa's men.
I'll certainly be interested in picking up the rules when they become available.

Thank you guys for the encouraging comments! I have just written profiles for outlaws which I think will bring another aspect to the game!

Some great inspiration there Mike and your painting is sublime. As a skirmish I could be persuaded to roll the clock on a couple of hundred years or so from the Barons War stuff that I've currently shelved. . . . It's stock!! Damn it all lol

I should think you could happily use my rules for pretty much any medieval figures TBH

You need to add captions Mike!

Brilliant idea! I have no idea how though! I have only just worked out how to add one pic at a time!

If you have Photoshop you can add text- not sure about bubbles but I'm sure there's a way to do it. Try downloading GIMP (seriously) if you don't have Photoshop.  :)

I second GIMP - it is just like Photoshop but a few iterations prior to the latest version and costs nowt.
