I'm getting these ready for a game on the 15th.

Charge of the Bohemians

Strapped to his retainers, King John makes his charge at Crecy...or my version of him does :)

John the Blind, King of Bohemia

Hi all, thanks for the recent comments. For some reason my account isn't letting me reply just now, please don't think I'm ignoring the comments. I will get the technology sorted.

I have moved on to the first of the Bohemian contingent for my Crecy period project. This time King John himself tied to his retainers for the famous charge.

Claymore Castings display game

The start of a Claymore Castings display game for shows next year.

Wars of the Roses

My son Finn and I decided to display our Wars of the Roses game at the Forfar show today. We were delighted to win best demo.
I have been making grass terrain mats from Fleece fabric and it has worked well. Figures are all Perry Miniatures. We used the  "To the strongest "  rules with modification for measuring as we didn't use grids. The manor house was made by James Sharpe.

Other games that caught my eye...

The Iron Brigades Napoleonic game. Just fantastic well done Kevin and Peter.

Martin Terroni's fabulous, 18th century, game using the "Beneath the Lily" banners rules by Barry Hilton. 

Ballista

Ballista as a germanic/goth type in Roman service (from the Harry Sidebottom books). This was Simon Miller and Phil Hendry's fantastic give away figure from their epic game at Partizan. The figure is available from Aventine miniatures. Now on a command base for " To the strongest"' I have a large 3rd Century game planed with Ken Pearce on Thursday. Looking forward to getting the troops on the table, however my small collection will be lost in amongst all Ken's stuff.
