Write your own?

[Last Hussar]

Written quite a few over the years, but you need people willing to give up a number of gaming sessions for playtesting.

Mostly it's Lardie (IABSM, KMH, TW&T now CoC, TCHAE)
or Warmaster (+Black Powder)

I have both Regiment of Foote and Pike and Shotte for when painting the ECW is finished (NEXT after rounding off ACW)

Got some yet to try (Charlie Dont Surf and Sharpe Practice), plus F&F and MSH sitting 'resting'

However my Battle of Britain rules are the only air combat I use

For small games will fit nicely with those lovely 1:44 airplanes Pendraken sell.  The rules are free, so you can afford to buy some.

Also those who were at Newbury last year may remember a Medieval/Wars of the Roses participation skirmish game.  I was certainly surprised to see it, as I forgot I'd given Jim a copy. That's on the Blog as well - "My Kingdom for a Horse"

Fenton,

I like this concept a lot, and may incorporate the idea into "Star & Garter" my Hundred Years War variant for Dux Bellorum. On occasions it has felt a little wrong having a unit of Archers or Longbowmen standing their ground whilst French Knights on Horseback charged them, in the hope they could hit enough of them on the way in to make it a more even fight once it got into hand to hand.

It's what the English longbows actually did in battle after battle of the Hundred Years War. Admittedly they (or their superiors) took certain precautions, e.g. planting sharp stakes to their front and having a body of men-at-arms in their centre that the opposing knights always made for. But the fact is the archers were confident that they could halt, or at least disrupt, the charge before it reached them. And they proved it on many occasions. In a sense the entire war was a French search for an answer to the problem.

Many years ago i used to ride horses, once after falling off, four other horses galloped close by me, the experience gave me some idea of what it felt like to have horses coming at you at speed. not nice.
