The Loose Association of Wargamers

My favourite trail run goes through Byland Abbey, on the right kind of day approaching the ruins is an amazing view. There is a Battle of Byland festival at Sutton Bank next month, I'm hoping to go and I'm hoping someone might have a wargame on?

I've been looking at figures for the period but struggling a bit to find much. Anyone have any ideas? Probably looking to scale down 15mm or below? In 28's I think.1st Corps would be a good bet. Could get a bit expensive with Footsore etc.

In 28mm Antediluvian Miniatures do the original Claymore Castings range for the Late C12th early C13th (Specifically for "Wars of the Bruce" so perfect for what you want) and are worth a look.

Wargames Atlantic have just started releasing a range in plastic that might be suitable.

Yep, seen the Knights. I'm a covert to WA after Irecently got the Dark Age Irish. Hopefully there's more to come!

Somewhere in the garage I have some of the very early Claymore castings stuff, cavalry and all...but I haven't seen it for nearly eight years now!!

Don't give up - it's a largish building with an up-and-over door, used to house motor vehicles, household junk and wargames figures. I'm sure a diligent search will locate it.
