1) Units A and C check morale each turn because they are contacted on the flank. Which unit checks first is not stated in the rules. By analogy to worn units...

I was toying with doing a War of the Roses game, but when I looked at the list in the rules it didn't give me much to create differentiated armies for each of...
Looking for some help here, I purchased some Old Glory 25mm French Crossbows from there HYW range. They came with pavises, unattached. I was trying to find...
I have some of these. My plan was to prop the pavises up in front of the crossbowmen. I haven't checked out actually doing this. I'm just assuming that there...
Agreed with Bob on this one. Put the pavises up on the front rank only and prop them up if need be with pieces of brass rod. I'd also put pavises on random ...
