With 2018 drawing to a close, it is time for our last wargaming outing of the year, the Recon show at Pudsey. The Lance & Longbow Society will be attending ad Steve and I will be putting on a participation game using our tried and tested variant of 'Lion Rampant'. This year the game will be Lewes from the 2nd Barons' War of 1264-66. We have incorporated some of the key features of the battle but the result is by no means a foregone conclusion, (where would be the fun in that?). Will the outnumbered Montfortians prevail as they did in history, or will the king quash the rebellion?
Here are a few photos taken during our trial run.

There are several good sources of information on the battle available on the internet; Steve and I found
this one very useful.
If you are attending the show please drop by and say hello, or even better, have a go at the game, Steve and I are always on the look out for volunteers.
