Daniel Mersey: Lion Rampant, Upcoming Osprey Medieval Skirmish Rules


Daniel Mersey, author of Dux Bellorum has announced that he's writing a new medieval ruleset for Osprey Publishing called Lion Rampant. Here's some more information: Over the next couple of months I’m hoping to post a few pieces about Lion Rampant, my new game that's due to publish in September as part of the Osprey Wargames Series. 


First of all, Lion Rampant is not related to my previous set of rules in the Osprey Wargames Series (Dux Bellorum), or to any of the other rules published in the series. The idea behind OWS is that each book is a standalone game, so if you did/didn't like Dux Bellorum or the other games, that doesn't mean that you definitely will/won't like Lion Rampant. There are no shared mechanisms between the different rule sets. Interested in more details and possible updates make sure to check the Mersey Books blog here.

100 years army? War of Roses army?

100 years army - yes
War of the Roses - yes if you want to but the rules are basically aimed at skirmish level, a couple of dozen either side. Stats for 'Handgonnes' (author's spelling) are available online from the author, Dan Mersey.
