Re-reading ‘The Sunne In Splendour’. Still one of the best historical fiction books ever written about #thewarsoftheroses #RichardIII

Books, Hail Caesar & The Wars of the Roses supplement plus a few miniatures.
A last hurrah for ‘loot in the post’ for 2024.
The new #TheWarsOfTheRoses supplement for Hail Caesar from Warlord Games. Plus the actual rule book for good measure.

My #TheWarsOfTheRoses collection is based for DBA/DBM/HOTT and four bases equals one #Midgard unit. I think I’ll be sticking with that … probably.
