I have neglected the terrain outside the castle, as I want the battles to start as the invader gets in. its a more developed castle not a country mud hut city, so need battles of big castles. I have a secret entry into castle. I was thinking some saga raid, or musketeers. or lord of rings or , game of throwns, but i really want an authentic historical scenario.





ok, found some figures i had, missing my mounted knights and some foot, i shall have to look through stuff.

now i have put it together, I think i have to paint all the grey stone to dusty yellow to match keep, it looks pretty good to me the keep

the castle is the old citidel fortress, you can still buy it on ebay £100-£400. then the keep is the mighty fortress comes in lots of bits as a kit about £150 i think. the bell towers are from endertoys on amazon £35 , the row of houses are 3d printed the file is widely available i think. i bought a few houses on ebay about £25 each. the church is a warlord kit £30. the mats are about £60. the figures are from ebay 30 years ago about £30, and some games workshop britons.

Im going to have castle guards, and defenders, and patrols. if any fighting by the patrols is discovered they are





found a boardgame kingmaker and it had some nice counters, so my historical theme is now set, war of the roses, and deligets from all over visit the castle for talks, but arguments happen

Im going to have castle guards, and defenders, and patrols. if any fighting by the patrols is discovered they are threw in jail, if you win a fight then there shield is added to your support, when you have enough support your men will breach castle walls, the defenders will try to repel. then they will attack guards at keep if they win they will be crowned king of britain.

Im going to use special single hero figures for the delegets, general knights for the castle men, and britans from games workshop for the castle assaulters.

Im thinking like colditz a patrol that moves each turn, then if a fight is come upon there in jail. the fights can be one man or more.

I think this may fit game of throwns

Im going to move knights around, and when groups or single units meet, you can throw your shield down for a fight maybe.

Sir Slash

Certainly. It was my Paladin avatar name going back to The Curse of the Azure Bonds on my old Commodore 128.
