Announcing, the Battle of Bosworth Demo Game at Salute 2014

[Atheling]

OK, a day late.... a recent medical appointment left me with no time even to do a short write up covering the Anniversary of the Battle of Bosworth, which was of course fought on August 22nd 1485 (not the 23rd!).

Bosworth marked a turning point in English history in many ways, the last great cavalry charge on English soil, the death of the last Plantagenet King, the beginnings of the Tudor dynasty not to mention the political ramifications that rippled around Europe, most notably in the Burgundian and French kings court.

So, it would seem that it's the perfect time (OK, maybe yesterday would have been better!) to announce that the Lance and Longbow Society will be putting on a Bosworth re-fight at Salute based on the latest information about the archaeological evidence. I know that this book, among others, Bosworth 1485, A Battlefield Rediscovered, Glenn Ford, Anne Curry will play it's part in the overall design of the game and also effect some of the troop types. I will say no more.

You can see how the armies unfold on my Gewalthaufen Blog, HERE!

... the last great cavalry charge on English soil...

Are you sure? There was a middling affair called the English Civil War later you know... 

Seriously though, it sounds like it will be an awesome affair, good luck with it!

Thanks, it should be a fantastic game (fingers crossed).

There's also an article in my possession that you may be interested in too Richard(?). It's basically a thorough run through of all the archaeological data including info on the armies etc.

Just drop me a line if you want a copy.
