Wargame - The War Of The Roses 1455-1487

"beautifully illustrated, full-color paper models representing all of the troop types necessary to recreate battles of the period on the tabletop. .... the books contain instructions for assembly, as well as simple sets of rules by Andy Callan To build your armies, first photocopy the pages with the desired troop types. Then simply cut and paste. In this fashion, you can create as many stands of figures as desired. Don't need Flemish spearmen? Don't copy them. Want extra billmen in livery? Copy away. ... a great way to quickly build playable, good looking armies for the tabletop. Priced between $20 and $30 on Amazon, they are reasonably affordable, even when taking into account the price of the paper and ink. And based on my experience in quickly cutting out a stand of cavalry, I think you could build an impressive army very quickly. I am definitely going to build a War of the Roses army. I may even get the English Civil War book. I have long wanted to have armies for both those conflicts." ~MiniatureWargaming.Com

“… The main rules are sufficiently simple to be easily intelligible by players who don’t possess extensive knowledge of the period and yet have sufficient ‘period atmosphere’ to enable them to recreate the style of fighting in the Wars of the Roses battles without being complex or requiring much mental arithmetic. They will also provide an enjoyable game for more experienced players… Highly recommended for anyone teaching, or contemplating wargaming, the struggle for the English throne in the fifteenth century.” ~Wargames Illustrated

“ … 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…” ~Hobilar: The Journal of the Lance and Longbow Society

“Besides infantry, cavalry and artillery, Dennis thoughtfully and artistically arms tabletop commanders with everything from buildings to trees and waterways to create a given period’s scenic atmosphere… These inventive books are recommended because they offer both the beginner and the veteran a quick, easy and affordable way to build up formidable opposing forces. Dennis deserves high praise for launching a revival of the art of creating paper soldiers painted so intricately and brilliantly.” ~Toy Solder & Model Figure
