Here are the slightly blurred pics of the 2x 6-base Welsh Archer batle Groups and an even fuzzier Field Commander Gilbert de Claire.

Middle Plantagenet English
I am starting yet another painting project. This time, it’s a 15mm Middle Plantagenet English Starter Army for use with Field Of Glory against Paul’s Scots in our future demo game of Bannockburn.
My figures are from Essex Miniatures and comprise the following:
1x C-in-C base: Edward II
1x General: Gilbert de Claire
1x General: Humphrey de Bohun
1x 2-base Unit of Royal Household Knights
3x 4-base Units of Feudal Knights
1x 8-base Unit of Spearmen
2x 6-base Units of English Longbowmen
2x 6-base Units of Welsh Longbowmen
I got them for Christmas and have thus far painted 1x 6-base Unit of Welsh Longbowmen
Cheers,
Ian

Polish v Hungarian 1st Feb 2010
Field of Glory Later Polish v Mid Hungarian 900 pts 1st Feb 2010
Outnumbered and hampered from the start by cultivated fields, the Poles nevertheless advanced on a wide front (which ultimately proved their downfall.
Their knights on the left flank never got to their intended targets, being hassled by horse archers and then routed by a timely flank charge which heralded the end of the game. The town militia on the right, Supported by cavalry and hussars, held out for longer that expected as enemy light horse managed to get around their rear.
Interesting game; some amusing incidents hither and thither, but on the whole not really a game I fancy playing on a regular basis.
Once again, sorry about the poor quality of the photos.

New Location
We've now been using our new location at Patroit Games, Wood Street, Huddersfield for three months. This is proving to be an excellent location being central for everyone. We're able to play upto three games in the room.
Recently we've been trying out the Field of Glory rules with some mixed feelings, Some of our members are very much for it and others still prefer DBMM for ancient and Medieval wargaming.
Next Monday (the 29th June 2009) the main game will be a DBMM game of Timurids verses Mameluks at circa 400 points.
We meet Monday Starting between 6 pm and 7:30 and finishing circa 11 pm.
As well as the information on this site we also have a Yahoo group site, see the link on the left hand side of this site.
