First Battle of St Albans - Setup for a Lion Rampant Scenario

Using available terrain, including the newly acquired 4Ground buildings, managed to setup a First Battle of St Albans scenario table. There are 9 units for the Yorkists rebels and 6 units with the king within the town. There are only three troop types for this scenario: Mounted Serjeants, Foot MAA, and Foot Yeoman with Mixed weapons (spears and bows). Hopefully will have this play-tested next weekend with the assistance of some buddies. I just wanted to see how the table would look with the troops and terrain on hand. Didn't use the guys with pikes and handguns, as I don't think they were used at this battle; also kept the mounted troops to a minimum.

Looking west towards St Albans. Shropshire Lane in the foreground and Sopwell Lane south of it. The River Ver in the distance.

View from the south with Warwick's forces in the center.

Not part of the actual game, but figured it was a nice opportunity to get the Earl of Northumberland in the picture.Riding out to negotiate terms to avoid battle. Unfortunately for the earl, terms were not agreed upon and he was one of the casualties in the ensuing battle.

Close-up of the earl as well as the line of defenses along the eastern side of St Albans. Note the Improvised barricades at the entry ways into the town. Plowed fields, hedges and ditches precede the old stone walls, parts of which date from Roman times - or so it is said.

Along Shropshire Lane, mounted troops carry the banner of the Duke of York. Units of Foot Yeoman with Mixed weapons and Foot MAA attempt to reach the town.

View from Clock Tower. The warning bell of the approaching Yorkists already sounded from it. Units of Foot Yeoman, also with Mixed weapons man the perimeter of the town.

Yorkists forces advancing upon St Albans between Sopwell Lane and the River Ver.

An AAR will be posted as soon as the game is actually played.
