Field of Glory:Mortimer's Cross, Wales, 1461


One of the battles I read about in Miniature Wargames Magazine August 1999 issue.
This was one of the battles in the War of the Roses Yorkists vs Lancastrians.
The article gives a good historical brief, and twoaps, one being a traditional interpretation and another with a more practical and tactical view.
I appreciate the order of battle so that I can try and model the battle with the figures I have in my collection.
Yorkists would need 120 figures
While the Lancastrians need 150.
I believe that I have these by mixing up several of the medieval figures in my collection.
More to come

I shall get some pictures up today My French Knights are almost completely armoured. I noted that they have no archers. This might give them some issues in battle, so I will draft in Norman archers or make sure to have crossbows
