Stramash in St. Albans 1455


 Another engagement that I have found in my Wargames illustrated January 2020 issue. This action takes place during the War of the Rose's. In a town, a small one but still an action I can put on the table.

I'm going to set this up on my urban  table, the grey one. I found the article so I'll get this going soon

Pirates of the Hebrides 1100-1605

This covers a long period, but the majority of actions which I will try to play are heavily linked to the Irish wars period, (1485-1603) This also happens to coincide with my family history as the Redden family were down in the border area and would have found themselves fighting as mercenaries The idea for this game has come from WarGames Illustrated issue 386 December 2019 they did a very interesting article on Pirates of the Hebrides  and it utilizes elements of on the seven seas and lion rampant rules however I'm going to be utilizing the field of Glory Renaissance rules.

Hedges span an area to the west, the rivers could possibly be forded but the bridges are your best bet. Oh what fun, and I so want a pastie I set the battle up, and I shall try to make a quick run of it. And I got my pastie! And I had set this battle up, then I got busy again, so it was a quick roll of dice to see if in fact that the force had morale to fight. After seeing the Royalists in a strong position and with a gun, the rebels lost heart. I just forgot to take pictures.  I shall try for take 2 in 2020. Or 2022 And on top of this, my Alma matter, L...
