Bosworth Field - what might have been?

Good King Richard Smites His Enemies

Good King Richard met his enemies today at Bosworth Field. There was a strong wind blowing in their face for the entire duration of the battle. Lord Percy was late to respond to the Kings orders after his courier got lost on the field of battle. The Stanleys Battle rushed headlong against the Kings main infantry Battle whilst Percy sat immobile alongside the King. Then he saw the crash of the Kings great bombard demolish a file of retinue archers and advanced against their flank whilst the King moved his mounted Battle around the rear of the now isolated Stanleys. Norfolk advanced against Tudors main battle whilst Tudors other Battle sat isolated at the far end of the field of battle. With the Stanleys crushed and captured the King and Norfolk then proceeded to isolate Tudor from the rest of his army and camp which quickly fell. Later upon Ambion Hill the Stanleys and Tudors were executed for High Treason whilst all their lands and possessions were declared forfeit to the Crown for Richards pleasure. The game was 500 AP and the score was 10-0 to King Richard [31-1] and lasted about three hours in all. Kevin Baker from the Cowards Wargames Club commanded the Tudor Traitors.

1st Ever LPIA Game - Yathrid [Medina]

I knew I had given the LPIA a run out but could not find a blog entry of it. I took pictures of the game but think real life interfered with my writing it up. I cant even recall the enemy army I fought against. I will have to ask Peter at the club since it was his army. The game took place on 12th November 2017. All I have is a series of pictures as a record of the game. I cant even remember who won or the score.

Turns out I lost 2-8 v Palmyans but was three elements away from breaking his army after taking out his Arab ally and another command.

Notes for the 4^th Round draw: Tim had already played Brian so I had to bump Brian down one slot in the draw. Likewise Peter L had already played Steve N and Peter H so his only remaining opponent is Richard G.
