The 2022 Phalanx Wargames Show (link ) is only a week away and Steve, Bob and I are busy getting our game ready for the event. Once again we will be representing the Lance & Longbow Society and our game this year will be based on the relief of the Siege of Buda in 1541. The inspiration for the game came from Oliver Green's Camisado blog especially the photographs of his excellent collection. He and Stuart Mulligan have extended the Dan Mersey Lion Rampant rules, (published by Osprey), into the Renaissance period and very kindly supplied us with a copy of their rules and army lists.
Buda is held by Hungarian, Moldovian and Wallachian troops loyal to the Sultan and an Imperial army, also containing some Hungarian troops, led by General Roggendorf, has been besieging it., Sultan Suleiman 1 is leading an army to raise the siege and has reached Buda before the Imperialists can form up their forces away from the siege works and camp.

So, is you are attending the Phalanx show please feel free to drop by, have a chat and perhaps roll a few dice with us. We will be adjacent to Dave Lanchester books.

Hello Stephen
DeleteMy apologies for not replying to your earlier comment, I wasn't aware of it as I tend not to look at posts after a couple of weeks. It seems that there is some way of being notified of comments posted, but I am afraid I don't know what it is. Hopefully we can have a chat next Saturday at the show. Look forward to meeting you.
