Towton 1464 - The Bloodiest Battle Fought On British Soil
The DBA War of the Roses army 1455-64AD is as follows:
- 1x 3Kn or 4Bd (General)
- 1x 3Kn or 3Cav or 4Bd
- 3x 4Bd
- 6x 4Bw
- 1x Art or 4Sp
My army is going to be based on Warwick's Yorkists at Towton.
The first is the Command element. I will build both the Foot and Mounted options. The second element are your Nobles/Men at Arms. As most of these fought on foot at Towton I'll go that route. The 4Bd are the Billmen while the 4Bw are the Longbowmen. These I'll use the plastic Perry WotR infantrymen. Finally I'll add the Art element using the Perry artillery piece.
Nice little painting project and the opportunity to use some snow basing.

ReplyDeleteit looks like there are slight differences between the DBA 2.0 list which your looks like and the DBA 3,0 list which would be:
1 General Knight or Blade
1 Currors, Cavalry or Light Horse or unreliable horde
4 Billmen, blades
4 archers, Bow
1 gun, Artillery
1 auxilaries, Pike or Aux or (men at arms Knight or Blade) or Ps
I don't think it really matters do you?
