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.
Hope you are feeling better and I hope the remote game goes well.

Pics look great Jon! Hopefully at some point, you get time to do a report on your game with Vol AND the upcoming one with Peter - will be interesting to see how you did with the Yorkists v's how Peter does, commanding them against you!
