A Preview of Mortimer's Cross

After a delay due to illness (mine!), the first outing of the Battle of Mortimer's Cross took to the table in a game on Wednesday afternoon.  In a F2F game, I faced Vol (A Miniatures Hobby Room) who made the one-hour drive for an afternoon game.  Vol and I have not faced each other across the table in a long time so it was good to rekindle this competition.  Vol took command of the Lancastrian Army and I the Yorkist Army.

Since the table needs resetting for a Thursday remote game with Peter (Grid based wargaming) to be fought over the same ground, no time for a proper battle report today.  Instead, I will simply note that the battle was back onto a hex grid for today's game rather than last game's open table.  In trials before the foray into gridless play, hexes were five-inch "dirt" hexes used in Basic Impetvs Ancients' games.  Hexes have been downsized to four-inch "grass" hexes for Blood n Roses rules.

Game played smoothly and I enjoyed having the game return to its hex roots.  Looking forward to Thursday's game with Peter especially since rules are fresh in mind.  Peter will be commanding the Yorkist Army.
