Lion Rampant 2nd Edition Battle Report | Wars of the Roses

Here's a solo game of Lion Rampant playing a Wars of the Roses themed battle, featuring the Defending the Indefensible scenario from the Second Edition rule book. The House of Lancaster, led by Henry Percy is looking to sabotage the Yorkist bombard - will Richard of York be able to save the day?

Your board looks great, and your minis are very nicely painted!
I do enjoy watching die rolls and movement myself, but you did a really go job explaining what happened off camera and filling in the gaps, also I like how you carry the camera around with you instead of just leaving it static in one posistion. It really added to the cinematic feel.
Thank you for sharing your batrep!

Superb table and figures...and most beautiful artillery!

[@axisandaliens]

Thanks, Phil! I need to figure out rules for it - Lion Rampant and Warhammer Ancient Battles don't have unit listings for bombards. Any ideas?

[@GDWargames]

Bombard looks ace. :) nice battle report. Can't wait to get enough figures done so i can play some war of the roses. :)

[@axisandaliens]

Thanks! You’ll get there soon I bet!

Thanks, Steve! Hope your book comes soon!

Again another great battle report. Awsome looking board as well. Your battle reports have inspired me to put together my own War of the Roses project.

[@axisandaliens]

Best compliment ever! Thanks James - it’s such a fun project, I can’t stop adding more

[@deepred6041]

Nicely done and even as a loyal Yorkist I enjoyed this

[@axisandaliens]

Haha thanks! I’m glad it was fun to watch - I was a bit worried it looked like a steamroll!

[@deepred6041]

@@axisandaliens well I suppose Wakefield was pretty much a steamroller , so kudos for historical accuracy. I've subbed so I get to see more (which ever way it ends)

[@axisandaliens]

@@deepred6041 so this is something I’ve been musing lately. I’m too much of a perfectionist to try truly recreating actual battles but find it a stretch to play purely made up games, at least with characters/personalities who never historically met. I’m trying to thoughtfully weave the flavor without going too far one way or the other.

Great video! What are those minis?

[@axisandaliens]

Thanks! They’re all Perry’s - a mix of plastic and metal.
