General Headquarters: 28mm Republican Roman Army
http://generalheadquarters.blogspot.com/2015/04/28mm-republican-roman-army.html
Saturday, April 11, 2015. 28mm Republican Roman Army. Hi - I've been quiet here for a while, and thought I'd finally post some pics of what I've been busy with! It's a Republican Roman Army (or 'Polybian Roman') for the Punic Wars, in 28mm! 15 bases of troops, all painted up - although I've still got the basing to do. All the figures are Victrix 28mm Romans, except for the commanders (Agema Miniatures) and the cavalry (unknown source, as I got them second-hand! April 12, 2015 at 1:00 AM. I SEE LEAD PEOPLE.

General Headquarters: January 2015
http://generalheadquarters.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 29, 2015. Back to relax in the comfort of Hadley Hall, Sir Richard reads over the reports that have come in from his spies through the region. Lord Turstoke, the Lancastrian rebel to the south-west, has apparently fought a battle. Despite being slightly outnumbered six-to-five by the neighbouring lord of Muncaster, the superior quality of Turstoke's retinue allowed him to triumph. The start of battle, with Turstoke facing a line of Muncaster men while his own is split by a copse of trees.

General Headquarters: March 2014
http://generalheadquarters.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 16, 2014. The Wheatfield, Gettysburg, 2nd July 1863. At the end of January - yes, I know, what with all the WOTR stuff it's taken me ages! The Falkirk Club (FDWC) held a big Sunday bash for the Longstreet Campaign. The result was a day-long multi-player fight, where we decided to add a bit of historical relativity by modelling on the second day at Gettysburg - four Union players holding Sickles' Salient around the Peach Orchard and the Wheat Field, against five attacking Rebels. HArdtack se...

General Headquarters: The Northern Map, 1461
http://generalheadquarters.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-northern-map-1461.html
Sunday, January 4, 2015. The Northern Map, 1461. I have just realised that I've not yet provided a full map on the blog - after all my discussions about how to make it! Here, then, is the full thing:. With the key nobles shown on their respective home areas, it's actually a bit like this:. Labels: Wars of the Roses. January 8, 2015 at 10:29 AM.

General Headquarters: February 2015
http://generalheadquarters.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Something of an interesting turn of events in Northern England: a potential three-way battle. Potterburn is a decent estate of strength 7, located on the western edge of our campaign map - and caught between Lords Monkton and Whitcaster, the two Perkins brothers on opposite sides of the war. With the lords having picked off the low-hanging fruit, they are now growing in strength to the stage where Potterburn can no longer stay neutral. Based on reading about 'solo campaigns', ...

Sunday, July 27, 2014. Something of a random departure here - some Republican Roman Cavalrymen I recently painted.

Sunday, February 9, 2014. The Battle of Baunton, 1461. The battle of Baunton, 6th March, 1461. The peaceful fields of Baunton, with the river Churn flowing by. The original deployment, Lancastrians facing North and Yorkists facing South. Buckingham's men in the foreground, along with Prince Edward's troops in front. Yorkists - Salisbury's numerous right-flank Ward. Casts some worried glances to his right, wondering what could be wrong, as messengers gallop frantically off to bring news. Could be forgiven...

General Headquarters: December 2014
http://generalheadquarters.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Dramatis Personae, 1461. For this campaign I wanted a specific figure to represent an individual, through 'thick and thin' (or, perhaps more suitably, 'to the death'). I can't do all 25 nobles sensibly, but the six powerful lords of the '12 income' castle areas are certainly do-able. Rather than write all at first, I intend to follow particularly one random individual, and then see where the 'narrative' leads. Here are the six power-brokers for our northern war:. With his le...
