Looks impressive, Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Aaron. I'm often torn between trying to stay true true to the historical record and making the game interesting. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteBig woooooow!
ReplyDeleteCongratulation. Fantastic army :)
Thank you kindly, Michal!
DeleteNice set up and lovely armies. Big set up for Lion Rampant are you thinking of modifying the rules or playing as they are ?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt. It would be for six player - three per side. I was thinking about closer unit to unit allowances, but even keeping the 3 inch rule, it would still work - albeit being very crowded. Best regards, Dean
DeleteSounds great, beautiful units!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil! I wanted to capture the look of the layout before I reset it for Tewkesbury. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteClass!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Dmitry! Your Napoleonic game is stunning! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteThank you.
DeleteThat looks so cool Dean!
ReplyDeleteAh, thank you kindly, Rodger!
DeleteSuperb minis
ReplyDeleteI never try to stay historical in a con game
Thanks, Miles. Good point on con games - the players enjoyment should be the primary goal! Best regards, Dean
DeleteWith Enfilade in May, you are planning ahead for this one. Layout looks terrific as do your recently recruited armies. I am sure this will be a hit whichever battle you recreate.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan. Yes, I always seem to plan out games out well (months?) in advance. By the time of the actual event, I've forgotten a lot about it. Lol!
DeleteA very impressive display of War of roses !
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chris. Yes, the figures are sort of scrunched up together for the photo op. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteGreat pics Dean.
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Simon!
DeleteLooks grandiosely!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteWow dude, you don’t really understand just how many models you’ve painted up until you see this all laid out. Impressive, I can only dream. You did this in less than two months, bravo!
ReplyDeleteCheers
Kevin
Thanks for your kind words again, Kevin. With Lion Rampant you don't need too many figures, but I wanted enough units for 6 players. Best regards, Dean
DeleteQuite impressive Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! Regards, Dean
DeleteGreat looking armies Dean! Tewkesbury might be more fun to play than Bosworth?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike. I recently saw an old WI article on Tewkesbury put on by the Perrys. They had alternate setups, and one had small buildings in the center of the table. Maybe I can use the same 4-Ground buildings as in the St Albans game. Best regards, Dean
DeleteLooks great, most war of the roses battles were arrow storm followed by slug fest, Barnet is quite good if you find a way of doing fog and allowing the possibility of someone on either side betrayal of their leader, lovely figures once again.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks again, Iain. I considered Barnet too...Warwick's and Oxford's standards would be historically correct for that one. I will have see how the table looks for Tewkesbury.
DeleteI reckon this will be fun to play out with Lion Rampant. It's fun to do real scale - I have reenacted it every August for years!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Oli! I wish I could join in the fun. Warm regards, Dean
