Medieval Diversion

One evening last week I had a spare hour after a game and decide to sort though some boxes with my Minifig  25mm Hundred Years War figures. I originally bought and painted these miniatures when I was 15 or 16 years old. Some of the colours used are a bit suspect, so I intend to strip back these models back and repaint them.

The question will be what rules to use. I'm very tempted to go for the Loin Rampant Rules as I read many complementary reviews. Ideally I like to have a grid-based game, which will mean modifying any rule set I get. 

Having pulled out all the models to sort and count them, I thought why not have a battle?
A quick grid based Medieval Game
 I used a grid for the game and some rules based on One-Hour Wargames, so the game played quickly. I will have to at some point decide upon a set of rules for the basing of the troops. There is no hurray yet as I'm still finishing off my WW2 units, and have a few more weeks before finishing is my guess.

Game in progress.

  1. Go for it, Lion Rampant and a grid. I'm planning on using hexes, as I usually aim to do!

  2. I think I will, the eBook is only the price of a three large coffees. Good luck with your use of hexes for the ruleset.
