Days of Knights: Hundred Years War Action


After a couple of years of intermittent painting, Chris finished up his 28mm Hundred Year War collection near the end of 2019. To celebrate, he and Dave took a small fraction of the host and played an inaugural test game using the rules set "Days of Knights".

You can see an in-depth review of the rules at the link here.

The big cavalry melee in the center that would decide the day. After the repulse of the Scottish attack on their right, the English attempted to complete the enemy's rout by launching their reserve cavalry at the French center. Alas, they were held and then overwhelmed by the opposing knights and it was the French who carried the day.
