War Of The Roses

The second Paper Battles set will be for the War Of The Roses.

This set will be in colour and (roughly) 25mm-28mm in scale. Bases will be square (40mm X 40mm) and the figures will be facing all either to the left or the right which will allow you to use them either pointing at the enemy or facing them as in the ECW set - or both!

The initial set will include basic foot troop types and a small selection of scenery. As with the ECW set these will be highly stylised figures based upon the evocative illustrations of the period. 

This will provisionally include:

  • Foot Retinue Men-At-Arms (Various depicted levels of armour!)
  • Foot Retinue Archers
  • Gonnes (not sure yet...)
  • Levy Billmen
  • Levy Archers
  • Casualties (Melee and archery specific)
  • Other Markers
  • Trees and hedges

If there is sufficient interest later expansions will cover mounted retinues, other troop types (crossbows, handgunners etc and buildings).

Test counter (not scaled!)

American Civil War Paper Battles

I have put this project on hold for the moment until the War Of The Roses set is finished.  It is likely that this set will change from the test version shown here...I will probably revise it quite a bit and its final incarnation may even be in colour (I'll see how the WOR set is received). 

The initial idea here is for a grand scale set (think 6mm-10mm miniatures)  suitable for rules sets such as Fire & Fury. It will focus on the eastern theatre and include basic troop types and rural terrain.

Here are a few early test shots of some of the scenery. The fences are approximately 1cm high, supply wagons 2cm, buildings 4-5cm and the trees 6-8cm. I hope to have the set finished and available to download before Christmas.
