winterbadgerI had thought at one point to adapt a popular set of miniatures rules to fight skirmishes of the Hundred Years War.
After reading a bit more about the war, I think I'll pass. Who would want to play the French? Until they start using large quantities of archers and cannon (right at the end of the war), they lose every single battle they fight. That doesn't sound very appealing for a game.
Now, the Wars of the Roses are a different matter. Both sides had more or less the same gear, and they seem to have pummeled each other mercilessly but effectively. Much more of an appealing option to gamers. :-)
