Mortimer's Cross 1461
« on: April 23, 2015, 01:45:59 PM »
Last week we had a very good War of the Roses game. This time everything went almost as it was in real battle, however we managed to kill Kingmaker, so I believe that history would be slighty different after this battle. Love the moments like this.

More about the battle on my blog:

Good looking troops and a fine game. Poor Kingmaker and Lord Clifford...

Looking good. We tried Mortimer's Cross as our first battle of the WOTR with new figures and rules. We ended up with a pretty historical result as well.

Yet again regrets of leaving Edinburgh come to the fore  ;) :)

Great pics, interesting battle and one question; are we likely to see a Wars of the Roses demo game being run at Claymore?

Bart,

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that I'd be able to stay for that long as I'd have to arrive on the Thursday and leave on the Sunday. It's a real shame really as it would be brilliant to catch up with everyone- you don't get that much of a chance to really talk at a wargames show.
