I know it's not even finished yet but thought I would ask a question. :)

Would the new BB rules work for the 100 years war, well the later bit at least? Would any tweaks be needed to cover that? Just a random thought as I have a load of 100 years war 15mm figs to do. Many will be used for WotR battles but just thought about using them for battles in the 'exotic continent'...

The way cavalry are handled in BB probably means you would need house rules for the 100YW. Otherwise your French at Agincourt would have no figures on the table for the most part.

The original Bloody Barons may be suitable as well.

Maybe a separate set pitched at the mid-C14th period of the HYW might also be a goer. A chance to get surcoats and shields painted up.

Well it was just a thought... A few extra packs in the PP range (as some models will morph I believe) and some extra tweaks and yes another set of rules and area of coverage would be cool. :)

I think it would need some additional or changed rules. If someone does them i will happily put them on the web site if that helps?

BB is very WOTR focussed. Such things as the longbow for all, cavalry being rare, unreliable generals would need consideration?

A project for someone though.

Shouldn't be too difficult. I altered the old rules to use Scots and Swiss. I think the biggest problem would be the extra cavalry. I would suggest that the later battles are quite similar to WOR any way.

Are you happy to get it done and oven ready John?
