Bosworth Commands
Finally printed out the banners/flags for the command groups after having my oldest boy set up the printer again.The mounted commands are Henry VII and Richard III. The foot commands are Oxford and Norfolk. All of the flags were found on the internet for free. The nice standards were found on the Grumpy Wargamers site.
The mounted figures are all Old Glory save the figure for Henry which is a Crusader mini. The foot guys are all Perry plastics from either their WotR Infantry or European Merc sets.

And the Lancastrians:
I plan to get a couple more boxes of plastic Perrys, and also have commands for Stanley and Northumberland. This in spite of my initial concept of using mostly figures I already had for the Bowsworth game. At least I won't have to get any mounted or dismounted knights - I have enough of them already.

Thanks, Christopher!
DeleteOutstanding! The banners look as good as any commercially produced products. Very good job on the flags.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a stunning army arrayed for battle.
Stunning work on the command stands, Dean. Your printer is a sight better than mine. Like Jonathan said, those banners look pro.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan and Monty - to be fair, the colors are a bit duller in person, but good enough for the battlefield - and the price was right ;)! Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteSuperb painting, basing and flags. 10 out of 10.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! Now that is nice work!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,

The command stands look great. Grumpy produces nice standards.

ReplyDeleteThanks! Love your current 6mm work.
DeleteWonderful stuff Dean, love those banners - certainly a very eye catching period for all the flags waving about in the breeze,
ReplyDeleteThanks, Scott. Appreciate the visit and kind words. Dean
DeleteVery Nice Dean. I can really see you are making some stellar progress on this army. BTW, I have a couple boxes of Perry Plastics that I would be willing to trade or sell if you are interested? Just let me know.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat. Dang, I wish I saw your post earlier. I just ordered a box of WotR infantry from FRP - actually found it on ebay. I may need another box of Mercs though. See you on Saturday. Dean
DeleteDean, any thoughts about rules? Though not quite the same period, I'm always interested in what might work for HYW/WOTR carnage.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by, Kevin. I plan to use the modified/simplified version of Hail Caesar - similar to the one I used for the Imjin War game at Enfilade. Just a bit of tweaking for the period/scenario. I'm sure it would work for HYW too. Although I'm not planning on using missile fire too much for this scenario - only in the opening turn(s) - followed by engagements. There will be a bit of chance/predictableness for commitment by some of the commanders. Best, Dean
