All that cavalry , looks very impressive! It is interesting to see English armies with so many horse and a variety of foot types, before the dreaded longbow arrives!

Many thanks ETS. I really enjoyed reading the after action report. I hope you post the re-fight also.

You've inspired me to kick my project closer to the curb this year and at least finish my Rebel army. My progress has been glacial.

When I get to the UK a visit to 'the shed' is a must.

I’m a little late to this party but the game looks gorgeous! Could almost be a display diorama. :D

Afternoon all - earlier this week the shed hosted our take on the battle of Evesham.

This was the second pitched battle of the Barons War posted earlier on this thread a year ago.

For full detail including background, orders of battle and a full report head to the blog https://shedwars.blogspot.com/2025/01/battle-of-evesham-28mm-wargame.html









Hope this is of interest
