War of the Roses 2

[Dave Fairlamb]

Hi all,

Its been a frantic Christmas but I am ready to finally put a WoTR army on the table. My opponent is no doubt quaking in his boots knowing he faces the mighty House of Lancaster.

Warmaster Ancients rules = check 
Warmanser Medieval Armies = check 
Totally awesome Pendraken WoTR army pack = check 
Fully painted = check 
Dice, tape measure and thinking cap = check 
Fun = CHECK 
100% belief in my pending victory = CHECK 

Should be a good first game.

Excellent Dave - nice checklist too 

Don't forget these:

- Charge camera batteries

- Take camera to battle

- Take pics of battle

- Write up & post in Batrep section 

[Leman]

WOTR - you can't wack it. Get some Scots, Irish and French crossbows to add a little spice.

[FierceKitty]

Don't forget treachery, blank verse, and five-act structure - check.

C'mon you Yorkists

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

C'mon you Lancastrians Yorkists Tudors - oh S** it! , according to my history lecturer they were all the same thing!

All the same thing

I.e rich powerful blokes who wanted more power.

It would be fun to try some troops with different motivations (like capturing prisoners for sacrifice).

Since it was Daves first game I rather generously gave him  victory to keep him interested in medieval wargaming.

Like Aztecs?

Hi All

Really Enjoyed my first game, all told it was a cracker! Looked a bit hairy at first when my Knights got a pasting. But then my good old Irish saved the day with a spectacular Flank charge on the Yorkist Pikemen! Victory Lancaster...But the war continues!

Any idea where to find the warmaster medieval rules?   

[FierceKitty]

Like Aztecs?

Well, yes, since you suggest them, I'd be willing to lend my vote there,

They are published by Warhammer Historical but appear to be out of print. the WM medieval rules were mainly army lists with a few medieval rules, so if you can get hold of Warmaster Ancients you will be good to go. But WMA also seems to be out of stock.

The only good news is that WM fantasy is available as a free Download.

They crop up regularly on E-Bay, thats where I got mine anyway.

Just beware of a***oles asking lots of pound notes because theyre Mega-Rare and OOP.
