Roses it is then!

 The people have spoken and the War of the Roses came out on top!
So i have bought the above pictured plastic box set and a few personalities from Perry miniatures and what great figures they are to.
 After having a chin wag with good friend Pat BLOG . we have decided to do a retinue each and play skirmish level game using the lord of the rings variant on the LOTR variant yahoo group called trebuchet.
He is up at mine on August so that gives me plenty of time to finish the this small project. I say small but these things have a habit of growing! I also need to build a gaming table....

Some pics to follow as soon as i top and tailed some commissions!

RIP WAB

NEWS

Well you didnt really need to consult with the oracles to see this one coming, but a sad day just the same.
Still it wont stop me playing WAB or any of the legends series. All great games which my friends and I have many great hours playing.

So to the contenders to the throne


War and Conquest WAC by Rob Broom, formerly of warhammer historical and the main driving force behind it in the early days.
A ver nicely laid out book, with lots of novel ideas, i have not personally played a game yet but I am keen to try!



Clash of Empires CofE Another well thought out set of rules for all those who like WAB but are looking for my CnC action and down graded heroics. A little bit to close to WAB for me to warrant switching to.


Hail Caesar! HC Those guys at Warlord games sure can make pretty books. This is the ancients version of black powder. Not yet had the chance to play but will definitely be giving it a go with my Punic wars collection when it finally grows large enough to warrant. Designed for larger feeling games to WAB worth buying if just for the pretty pictures.

I'm sure there are a few more I haven't mentioned such as
but I have not invested the time and money into buying it yet, but it does look pretty cool.
