I assume early photographs were used to get Wenlock likeness just right?

It was easy
The amount of aristocratic inbreeding means they look the same now as then

First actually unit finished last week, Lancastrian Household troops.

In what way Les?

There may be a vacancy on the management coming up. I'd be happy to nominate you. I'm sure you'll get things in order 😊

Title: Re: New WotR project.
Post by: Leman (Andy) on June 22, 2021, 05:06:33 PM

I am also puzzled. The comments all seem to be related to the thread as far as I can tell.

Next up a heavy gun.

Post by: martin goddard on June 23, 2021, 06:20:20 PM

I like heavy guns.
Are you using bloody barons?
If so, you will find heavy guns a real pain to get reloaded (which is deliberate).

martin :)

Not to answer for Steve, but he is. He's one of my congregation 😊

That is a mighty big gun - just look out for when it rotates!

Simon

Title: Re: New WotR project.
Post by: Leman (Andy) on June 24, 2021, 08:29:02 AM

I do like to see artillery out on the WotR gaming table. It does seem that as the wars continued artillery became more common.

Title: Re: New WotR project.
Post by: Sean Clark on June 24, 2021, 09:03:36 AM

I think Bloody Barons handles it very well too. It's not a game winner, and can in fact be next to useless if your men aren't quick in reloading it, but it can be very useful if used at the right time.

Title: Re: New WotR project.
Post by: Colonel Kilgore on June 24, 2021, 09:26:55 AM

A couple of guns do look very good on the table, as well as providing a useful distraction for the enemy to attack!

Simon

Title: Re: New WotR project.
Post by: martin goddard on June 24, 2021, 09:45:14 AM

Agreed Simon.
They look great in a game.
A couple of times they have earned me a bunch of kills.
Often some of my own men get in the way or they get rolled up by an opponent.

As a note heavy guns do not move but can be placed a zone forward if that is your advanced zone chosen before deployment.

Post by: Leman (Andy) on June 24, 2021, 11:31:26 AM

We must be thankful that the use of artillery helped in locating the actual site of the battle of Bosworth

Title: Re: New WotR project.
Post by: Sean Clark on June 24, 2021, 12:34:03 PM

Was this due to the fall of shot and subsequent discovery to show patterns?

Title: Re: New WotR project.
Post by: martin goddard on June 24, 2021, 12:49:46 PM

You are right Sean.
The best place to look is the "Time Team" with Tony Robinson episode.
It is on you tube.

Well worth the time to watch it I think.

So we continue with the project, lots of part units done but only a few more finished pieces.
Here’s my light gun.

So I'm onto the Yorkist now and onto my Second battle having already done Edwards.
Here's Hastings and the first 2 units retainers.

Here is a good idea Steve.
Give them to Sean.
He will use them at Bosworth and take a photo of them in action.
Of course you might not het them back but all is fair in wargaming and war.
