PanzerKaput Goes To Barons’ War

About the Project
Set against a backdrop of a Civil War that lasted for two years, 1215-17, as a result of the issuing of Magna Carta. A civil war was the perfect opportunity for the leading nobles of the time to grab land and power while settling some old scores along the way. This vying for land and power hadn't stopped since the invasion of 1066 with only the strongest of kings being able to keep their nobles in check. Our narrative focuses on small groups of warriors brought together under a lord or baron to raid and steal or defend land and property. With the strong, wise, cunning and lucky aiming to rise out of this civil strife in a better position than when it started. The Barons' War skirmish game has been written to enable players to fight out tabletop battles against the backdrop of the First Barons’ War between rival Barons or rival factions who find themselves on either side of the conflict. The game is historically themed, the gameplay is fast-paced and tactical with plenty of narrative and where force building presents you with lots of options enabling two players to muster very different retinues. However, as intended, this is an alpha set of rules which does not include rules for siege warfare, although rules for fighting in buildings are included. Campaign rules are something that will be addressed at a later date and released online. Having grown out of the Barons’ War Kickstarter project, the intention is for this ruleset to develop into a system that could be used throughout the Medieval period. Starting with England from when the Western Roman Empire withdrew around 410 AD to 1485 AD when Richard III died at the Battle of Bosworth Field. This presents us with a huge span of history for gaming which can be broadly divided into Romano-British, Anglo-Saxon and Viking, Anglo-Norman, Angevin and Plantagenet. And that’s just when looking at it from Great Britain. With warriors of this period being pretty similar, it would be easy to use the profiles in this rulebook to play out tabletop battles in any setting. Over time we see these rules evolving with additional warriors, characters, abilities and scenarios being added starting with the Dark Ages, the Anarchy and the Crusades and shared to www.warhost.online, which has been set up to be the community website for the game.

Mounted Sergeants for St Mary de Pratis
My latest units for my Barons’ War: project is completed and I have finished two units of mounted sergeants, one with hand weapons and one with spear for my Milites Christi of St Mary de Pratis.
They are not my normal lovely metal figures from Footsore and sculpted by Paul Hicks but rather plastics from Conquest Games, hand weapons and Fireforge Games, spears.
The buildings are from Warhost as STLs and Footsore are physical miniatures.
The banner has been created by me based on an 13th century illustration.

Welsh Horse and more Mounted Sergeants
I have finished my Welsh horse for my Barons’ War game along with some English mounted Sergeants.
I really love the Welsh from Footsore sculpts, they are full of character and poise and only realise I need more of them, lol.
The mounted Sergeants with crossbows are from Fireforge Games and are serviceable but in my opinion lack character or something.
Come Andy Hobday and Paul Hicks, I need some mounted sergeants with crossbows, lol.
I hope you like this offering from me ?.

Narrowed Down to Six
Yes I have got the banners narrowed down to 6, but which one?
I have changed the banner a little as it looked a little too Orthodox, with the Chi and the style of cross but also with the red colour too. So I have changed the banner to a cream or black one and also have changed the font to a less modern looking one.
What do you think, which one should it be? cream background or black, with text or not?
A Banner for St Mary de Pratis Abbey
I have created a banner for my Milites Christi of St Mary de Pratis Abbey for my Barons’ War Game.
I actually know that they didnt have a banner, let alone a battle banner but I wanted something to make them stand up.
So I have based the banner of a 13th century artwork of St Mary and the devil and here it is.
What do you think and which one is best?
