Richard III woz ere

A whistle stop day trip up to Leicester today to see the Richard III car park experience. It was recommended by some friends and was actually pretty good, striking a balance between historical depth and an accessible overview of the key events leading up to the Battle of Bosworth. The best bit was the forensic analysis of the skeleton and wounds inflicted, which was a bit gruesome but very interesting. Definitely worth the trip but you really need to have something else to go and see on the day; we stopped off at friends on the way, so made the most of the journey.

The Battle of Edgcote - A Wargamers Guide

I found out about this publication from the Northamptonshire Battlefields Society today, co-written by Graham Evans, author of numerous innovative wargame rules, and Richard Lindley, an old wargaming chum from the local club. It does look very good indeed, especially as both authors really know their stuff when it comes to the War of the Roses and wargame design. It's only a tenner including postage too, so worth a closer look if you are interested in the period:
