10mm New Model General

 After having played a playtest using the blocks I made I found I was not to happy with them. They just seem to big. Here is my set up for Blore Heath.  Lancastrians on the far side and the Yorkists on the near side.    I removed the two Heavy infantry cards from the C&C deck as the only forces we had on the field were Billmen (medium infantry), Longbowmen (light infantry) and Cavalry (medium cavalry).  To make the scenario a bit more historical I was going to have the "I am Sparticus" card a traitor card. When drawn the card would be played immediately (after round 2 maybe). The Yorkist would roll his command (5 dice) and all medium dice rolled would indicate how many units of the Lancastrian horse would turn traitor.  We didn't use that rule in the play test.  I am considering some other options. Either make bases for my paper troops and use them like that or to shrink the prints and mount them on proper C&C blocks.

 BrtishBattles.com has a ton of information regarding the War of the Roses. I used the website as my source material for my C&C Blore's Heath scenario. So let's see if those Lancastrian pretenders get smacked like they did historically... Here is our battlefield and the armies deployed for battle. The accounts indicate the Yorkists built up some defensive works and were on the defensive as they were outnumbered by the Lancastrians.  Crossing Wemberton Brook and assaulting the Yorkists position is going to be a tough go but with double the number of troops it may be possible.  I laid out the Command & Colors battlefield as follows; Yorkist Army Composition: 1 Commander - Richard Neville the Earl of Salisbury 1 Cavalry unit (Medium Cavalry) 2 Longbowmen units (Light Infantry) 8 Billmen units (Medium Infantry) The Yorkists defensive works are classified as a palisade Lancastrian Army Composition: 1   Commander - Lord Audley, Noblemen, veteran of the 100 yea...
