Welcome to my new Blog "The Chronicles". I have other wargaming interests but this Blog is about my efforts at recreating the Wars of the Roses with 28mm miniatures. I have been painting and playing with miniatures since the mid 1970's; and I have been painting and collecting Medieval Miniatures for 35+ years. Unfortunately I have not been very focused. Up until three months ago my collection consisted of approximately 650 individually mounted 25-28mm Late Medieval figures painted in various colors. Since my retirement I have been organizing, painting and touching up my collection to better reflect the various livery colors and factions that took part in the Wars of the Roses. This Blog will record the things that I do, and hopefully I will explain and show in detail my thoughts, plans and projects; as I undertake to create a War of the Roses 28mm miniature world, and play with Late Medieval toy soldiers.
Just a word about the picture at the top of this Blog. It was taken by me at Historicon 2002. It was the Battle of Tewksbury hosted by the late Terry Gore and Jeff Ball of Saga Miniatures. The rules used were by Terry Gore. His hand published/printed "Medieval Warfare" Rules. I had been looking for several years for a good set of miniature rules to fight Late Medieval Battles, I found "Medieval Warfare" to be what I was looking for.
