Re: Stockwellpete's War of the Roses Campaign

My thanks to Karvon for organising this team event. I hope everyone enjoyed it. I think we all probably did as we got to the end in good time and nobody dropped out. If there are any aspects of the campaign that you think I should address than please let me know. Towton has already been updated and ...

Re: Stockwellpete's War of the Roses Campaign

No rallies for the Lancastrians so it has finished in a Yorkist victory 43-5. No pursuit as one Yorkist "pricker" unit was fragmented, so Henry Tudor escapes into exile. 12 points, I think - 10 for the victory and 2 Crown points.

Re: Stockwellpete's War of the Roses Campaign

The Yorkists are on the verge of victory now. They lead 43-5 and both the Northumberland and Stanley contingents are moving to support the Yorkists . . .

Re: Stockwellpete's War of the Roses Campaign

The Yorkists are now running riot and it could be over shortly without the Stanley's making an appearance . . .

Re: Stockwellpete's War of the Roses Campaign

The Yorkists have taken an early lead and are making progress on their right. Richard of Gloucester has moved to the centre of the Yorkist position . . .

Re: Stockwellpete's War of the Roses Campaign

Oh I see - the bit in the text document: " will you defend the crossing or withdraw?" I assumed that choice would be made in the battle. It's not clear to me that there is a choice to not fight the battle (mind you I would have chosen to fight it anyway) I will make it clearer when I upda...

Yes, he will need something to help him in this very tough battle. Battle is under way. :wink:

Re: stockwellpete's War of the Roses Campaign

. . . I have just been tracking the fortunes of the monarch in our campaign. Henry VI came to the throne before his first birthday in 1422 and starts our campaign as the king. In 1461, there is a very brief period of dual power before his control is re-established after the Lancastrian victory at T...

York defeats Lancaster in the battle of Tewkesbury 47:19

Seeing as I have exactly two steady units of prickers I can capture and ransom the enemy generals I believe.
That is an excellent win, Mr Angus. Ransoming would be good as we are well behind on points at the moment. :D

Re: Stockwellpete's War of the Roses Campaign

What are the consequences of withdrawing in the battle of Fernybridge? Nothing. You just move straight on to Towton. I will make this clearer when I issue v2 of the text campaign once we have finished. :wink: I mean is there a mechanism for withdrawal in the scenario? Something other than the usual...

Re: Stockwellpete's War of the Roses Campaign

Apologies, I have noticed another error in the text campaign. In "Outcomes" for this battle at Tewkesbury, number 2 should say . . . 2) If the Lancastrians win Barnet only then the Yorkists retain control of the Crown. Go to episode 23 . And not go to episode 24. This is because the Yorkis...

Re: Stockwellpete's War of the Roses Campaign

As the Yorkist player I agree with this change! :D From my side I saw a few disordered units that subsequently returned to good order. But we should see the effects over several games really. I had Barnet flagged as a query before we started the campaign as SP HotSeat testing had resulted in more L...

Re: Stockwellpete's War of the Roses Campaign

The plan for the updated version of Barnet 1471 is to extend the Lancastrian "wave of panic" to a second turn. However, there will be a 75% chance of this happening, so the Yorkists will not always get this benefit. It is with Paul59 at the moment.

Re: stockwellpete's War of the Roses Campaign

Barnet: In my limited experience this is a very close battle. The Lancastrians have a numerical advantage at the start but the cohesion check on their centre is a disadvantage, whether it fully neutralises the original numerical advantage I suspect only repeated playing will confirm. Playing with l...

Re: Stockwellpete's War of the Roses Campaign

Barnet, Lancastrian Turn 7. As my right wing continues to collapse the left battle of the Yorkist army a wave of panic sweeps the centre battle of the Lancastrian line; are some of the Lancastrians changing sides? What an army commanded by two of the Neville family, recently supporters of the House...
