We know that in 1509 Henry VIII passed a decree apparently stating that a royal licence had to be granted to permit the use of a gun or a crossbow as an alternative to a longbow. This, however, is pure conjecture based on the ban. "but there were numbers of Englishmen also using it, so many so, that practice with them was forbidden in Henry VIII's reign, in favour of the longbow." "Foreign mercenaries and auxiliaries were obviously the prime users of this weapon," And I believe the Perry's have their own set of rule or that might be what Hail Caesar became. My main impression is these rules function much like the DBA which just had never appealed to my style of game play. There is the Osprey series Age of Glory and their supplements that some here on TMP are fond of. There is a new rule set called Conquest and Empire that looks very promising and from my understanding has game mechanics similar to the two game systems above. Warhammer Historicals unfortunately closed up shop last year and therefore trying to get the rule books might only be an ebay option. Hail Caesar is another option and is currently well supported. Of course you will get a plethora of options and each person has their favorites.Īs I stated above I mainly use Warhammer Ancients and the supplement Armies of Chivalry for my Medieval war games. You might want to post another thread asking about free rules available to download online and also recommendations of other existing rules. As far as war game rules there is a lot of choice and much will depend on the style of game play you are looking for. GlacierMI I think we all understood they were the Perry plastics and they are excellent figures.
