Wargames

15th century English armies oppose each other across the snow at the Battle of Towton

As a lifelong wargamer, I'm finally writing one - a rules supplement book for the second edition of Warlord Games' popular Hail Caesar rules, which allow you to refight historical battles from the Biblical period up to the Renaissance. 

My book will focus on the Wars of the Roses, a series of dynastic conflicts that took place mostly in 15th Century England as aristocratic families struggled for power. As a distinct episode in history, the Wars of the Roses gave us plenty of material for the likes of William Shakespeare and George R. R. Martin to work with. 

As my first wargaming book, it's been fun to work with the Warlord team, and I'm hoping my approach of trying to capture the feel of the period over absolute historical accuracy is one people appreciate.
