Range 23- "Bloody Barons"
The Wars of the Roses
The Wars of
the Roses represent the highest point of medieval armour and technology.
The armies usually fought on foot.
The battles were characterised by massive amounts of archery followed by bloody melee.
The rules are called "Bloody Barons" and
cost £14.
Matt Eastwood has supplied some nice WOTR Pictures. Thanks Matt.


Dave is working on the paint aspect and Sean has already painted up some archers!!!
Dave and Sean are GOOD! (Thanks chaps)

These are all from the "levy archer" pack.
