PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

In these books, Peter Dennis sets the paper soldiers of the 19th century marching again across the wargames tables of the 21st. All the troop types of the wars are represented in full colour in a format designed to create stands of soldiers which can be used to re-fight these epic struggles for the control of Britain. Although the figures can be used with any of the commercial sets of wargame rules, an introduction to wargaming and a simple set of rules by veteran wargamer Andy Callan is included, along with buildings, trees and even early gunpowder weapons, fearsome Irish Kern and ruthless European mercenaries.

Critic Reviews

“" ... The production values are everything you would expect from such a renowned illustrator as Peter and Helion ... Everything is there that you will need to set up your first game except an opponent, a table to play on and some dice..."”

Another brilliant series: Helion's Wargame series, this time focusing on the Wars of the Roses, a period of English history that has found new fans with the recent White Queen series. This book gives you all the information and help you need to plan your wargame strategy… Books Monthly
Highly recommended for anyone teaching, or contemplating wargaming, the struggle for the English throne in the fifteenth century. Miniature Wargames - Arthur Harman
