Battle of Grundwald July 1410

 This battle fought un 1410 between the Teutonic Order and the Polish Lithuania.

It's an interesting battle as there were so many nationalities. So I'll throw in all of my medieval troops.

And with the current situation going on its interesting to see how confusing the history is there 

Teutonic Knights and Allied Europeans

Teutonic Knights:


Knights of St John crusaders


Earl of Derby, England: Archers  Men at Arms


Normans:


Saxons



Polish/Lithuanian Army

Rus:


Cossacks:

Tartars: Mix of Muslim, Asian types(Japanese Samurai)

Spanish Conquistadors as Polish 

Viking looking types

Scots


From my recollections, I refought this battle in my garage in the spring of 2022. However, I failed to take any pictures of the game. I also got side tracked by real life and also I took a job posting in Nunavut, which meant my gamming switched to my other eras.

However, I do plan to try the action again, and to fill out the forces again.

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. A lot of the fighting would have been between Scottish clans, Viking raiders. So it shall be the MacNeils of Barra against Norwegians, English, other Scottish clans so my figures will definetly be an exotic mix of Highlanders, Anglo-Saxons, and Conquistodor looking types.

Field of Glory: Long live Richard IV Cornwall September 1497

Right, another scenario from Wargames Illustrated October 1997 is a small scale battle between a forces of Richard IV claimaint and  those of the ruling Tudors. Cornwall, Fenny Bridges Richard IV rebels 1 Men at Arms, 9 blades, 10 bows Royalist Tudors 1 artillery 3 blades 4 bows 2 men at arm's 1 light horse 4 bows The battlefield consists of a church on an island over a road with two Bridges spanning a river. 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...
