Apart from the joy of gaming and meeting folk again after 18 months of lockdowns, it reignited my enthusiasm to do more to my HYW collection. I'd made up several perry plastic Mounted Agincourt Knights for the Bauge game, but wanted to do more of them. So my winter project will be to create sufficient French knights to refight the Battle of Patay 1429 - a key turning point in the recapture of English-held territories by the French.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhZQZtzT-3cf3_F8qeOEyl26eSGvVGXa3JQRGVHFfszrJ5UU3rfRzn14Bl9x8GXYf4T2jUNpimOvAuCQ8ZogkKKFkCVy7siltj6AKT_JHb7mIXyfBErrbpWuNO2MCJoW3yfm-enTrfyBekHp2YquXM6Asm34SmbTSM3v0ZUunHX7AK6j6lI8USVGN03=s1024" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="650" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhZQZtzT-3cf3_F8qeOEyl26eSGvVGXa3JQRGVHFfszrJ5UU3rfRzn14Bl9x8GXYf4T2jUNpimOvAuCQ8ZogkKKFkCVy7siltj6AKT_JHb7mIXyfBErrbpWuNO2MCJoW3yfm-enTrfyBekHp2YquXM6Asm34SmbTSM3v0ZUunHX7AK6j6lI8USVGN03=s320" width="203" /></a></div><p>So the current plan is to create at least 10 bases of knights, which can be added to the 'agnostic' bases I have done already.</p><p>The first conversions for these are using horses from V and V Miniatures, which wear caparisons. Horses with caparisons (cloth coverings) are shown in early 15th century illustrations. However it is probably unlikely that they were worn in battle at this time. They are a useful artistic device to show leaders in imagery of the time - and this is exactly how I'm going to use them for some of the leaders on the gaming table.</p><p>I purchased a few of the horse models direct from A&A in Russia in the first lockdown period. They are resin models and are a remarkably close fit to older Citadel style horses. So thankfully the overall size fit with the Perry plastics is pretty good. I could use the assembled horse bodies and easily attach a Perry head instead of those provided which really relate to the Crusading era. The riders just needed a little more width in the gait of their legs - easily shaved off with a scalpel - to fit the horses OK. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgqEZqcrCbHloFLBrosN3akd6HG8Oo_VCXui4vC1dkupO1oJKFjbR4cfXfzkbbow5cXKUaRjK3dnDYNflXfEeULvRznCXKzOoK5gksfPXRNlUzUl_MIakBg78pIp3wwRuVWS69e3c3jy65GOVKo8RMQNrLLSowyKGoi8LTEXyDTI3QTlonuFZmWe0Lr=s640" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgqEZqcrCbHloFLBrosN3akd6HG8Oo_VCXui4vC1dkupO1oJKFjbR4cfXfzkbbow5cXKUaRjK3dnDYNflXfEeULvRznCXKzOoK5gksfPXRNlUzUl_MIakBg78pIp3wwRuVWS69e3c3jy65GOVKo8RMQNrLLSowyKGoi8LTEXyDTI3QTlonuFZmWe0Lr=s320" width="320" /></a></div><p>The second conversions are to add a few knights wearing <i>kastenbrust</i> cuirass. For a battle set in 1429, it is just possible that the <i>kastenbrust </i>style of armour was starting to make an appearance. Although most of the illustrations depicting this style are dated from c1430-1460 and derive from Germany or Flanders, it gives me an excuse to add a bit more visual variety and create some unique figures. I recently visited the restored Van Eyck 'Lamb of God' altar in Ghent, dated to 1432, which has the Knights of Christ all wearing <i>kastenbrust</i>, so we're close enough on the dating for me to be happy with attempting these figures.</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0fCajmKHW0RQpevSMf5uMXLfMaWmWwB_CVTlBQWpj8_bSNqxT_f-RkVVAVLWlZNbTOpFWHlwgwU4BByYwf9XG3KBB6B36Uv0iXw-oY4HpSHNFDzvwbWTHg1ZPSfT_sRAQe7ENrU5u48j7jrfmV0h-m88qyePAbglghYKK2nxnp6IE2zX6xYxIF2M4=s640" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="417" data-original-width="640" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0fCajmKHW0RQpevSMf5uMXLfMaWmWwB_CVTlBQWpj8_bSNqxT_f-RkVVAVLWlZNbTOpFWHlwgwU4BByYwf9XG3KBB6B36Uv0iXw-oY4HpSHNFDzvwbWTHg1ZPSfT_sRAQe7ENrU5u48j7jrfmV0h-m88qyePAbglghYKK2nxnp6IE2zX6xYxIF2M4=s320" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>I've added the angular cuirass with green stuff and I'm happy with the results.

Consequently I've selected right arms which try to avoid covering up all my work.

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2YdhAF6iDFVFyjXRnQX_EG7bmMzJr309ECgcAp5gsXl8dO5ysDR1qu7g2DtzkgjRm49OeISYxvEQmje_U0f1kpHGKD_EF85y8oO7MtSrL4ClkIq22GMKIpiCwwEouWNUZ8YIBVIaS_3Nz/s1600/IMG_6655.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1282" data-original-width="1600" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2YdhAF6iDFVFyjXRnQX_EG7bmMzJr309ECgcAp5gsXl8dO5ysDR1qu7g2DtzkgjRm49OeISYxvEQmje_U0f1kpHGKD_EF85y8oO7MtSrL4ClkIq22GMKIpiCwwEouWNUZ8YIBVIaS_3Nz/s320/IMG_6655.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It appears that images of these huts occur with some frequency in the background landscapes of medieval illustrations, mainly those showing Angels announcing the birth of Christ. They take different forms, but they're often just a square wooden shed with 2 or 4 wheels attached. Presumably they were pushed or hitched, as flocks were moved about in the open countryside (enclosed sheep fields were a 16th century creation) and as a place for shepherds to take refuge and probably sleep in.<br />
<br />
So making one seems both relatively easy and something which would add a little interest in a corner of a wargames table- those areas where you rarely get any gaming happening and so need a little terrain item to be placed.<br />

A recent order from Charlie Foxtrot Models enables me to add their Derelict Shed, as I didn't want it to look too much like a modern garden hut. This was made as it comes, apart from leaving off the door. Wheels are also mdf from 4Ground and the tiles are left over wooden shingles from an AWI build. It looks a little like a Regency period bathing hut, doesn't it!</div>

We're going to replay the demo game of Bauge 1421 at the Partizan show in Newark on 19 May.<br />
<br />
Going to make some slight adjustments to the layout. This is to include more space around the village of Vieil-Bauge; up the slope from the river crossing, where most of the fighting appears to have taken place and where Clarence most likely died fighting. This means I'll have room for my church, which I forgot to pack for the trip to Salute.<br />
<br />

To sit alongside the church I've made a walled graveyard - one of those terrain pieces which I've had in mind for such a long while and I needed a prompt to find all those purchased bits for it and so get it completed. Visual references for what a medieval graveyard may have looked like have been hard to find. The only ones appear to be from contemporary illuminations showing the dead rising up, presumably to collect souls of the living.<br />

From these images walled cemetaries seem to have a mixture of slabs and wooden crosses. I understand that when cemetery space was full, that bones would be dug up and reburied, most probably inside the church crypt. In the medieval world it was the soul which travelled to Heaven and was proved for after death. Its only post Reformation that the bones of the dead gradually become the focus of remembrance and so graveyards become bigger in size, with carved headstones etc. The walls are from Debris of War, which I've rendered with fine Polyfilla, with Hovels pillars on the ends. The slabs are Renedra plastics, the larger crucifixion and small shrines from a Faller HO kit, other crosses are Hovels, and the smaller wooden crosses and gateway (top part of a well) are mdf laser-cuts from Petite Properties.<br />

Along the open side of the yard, I've embedded small magnets. This will allow me to add/remove a temporary hedge, if I need the piece to be fully enclosed at any time. The church is a Vollmer plastic HO scale railway kit - it's of Strasbourg Cathedral, but works OK as a 28mm parish church! I love the fine moulded gothic details, which I've not seen in a war-games version yet. <a href="https://harness-and-array.blogspot.com/2017/03/church.html" target="_blank">More on it here</a>.<br />

If you're at Partizan, please pop over to the game and say hello!<br />

So Lewis King and I set up on the Friday evening and spent a very pleasant evening eating and drinking, and chatting about the hobby with others staying at the hotel.<br />

Regrettably other members of the Lance and longbow Society who were going to join us to play the game couldn't make it due to illness. We did have Ian with us for the afternoon, who led a wing of the Franco-Scots. The game ran well with Lion Rampant. We basically used the rules as they are, jaltoigh we classed Clarence and his mounted knights as "Great" - this was to ensure that he attacked any enemy in charge distance and so reflect his recklessness on the day and to avoid him hanging about and waiting for Salisbury with his longbowmen arriving.<br />
<br />
All units were treated as they would be in the rules, we just ignored the limit of 12 figures per unit. We used counters to reflect the rising numbers of casualties and removed a dice per casualty, to better reflect the growing injuries and fatigue in a unit. The Scots archers defending the bridge were a small unit.<br />
<br />
So this is how it transpired. Clarence headed for the Pont Godeau over the Couasnon river and quickly dealt with the Scots archers. In hindsight we should have stiffened their resistance with some men at arms, to reflect the close melee that the contemporary records refer to. At this point the Franco_scots on the hill and in the town could be activated.<br />

All the other English knights also followed over the bridge. At this point we started to dice for the arrival of Salisbury with his mounted archers, but they would take a few more tunes before they appeared. Clarence they headed for the town (in historic fashion) and attacked and defeated a unit of crossbowmen, whilst taking few casualties.<br />

On the Scots left, the crossbowmen and men at arms were reluctant to advance and shoot - they repeatedly failed their activation phases. This allowed the other English knights to charge Scots men at arms - a close melee took place over a number of turns, with the Scots being pushed back. However the English knights, still fighting on horse, were starting to accumulate casualties. At this point the English mounted archers under Salisbury appeared on the table and made for the river.<br />

Many thanks for all those who came along and were very generous in their feedback on the game or who wanted to know more about a battle which seems to be relatively unknown - the English being good at hiding their defeats under their bushel!<br />

We hope to revisit this at Partizan show, Newark, in May - with some minor adjustments to the terrain and maybe the Scots.<br />

<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 107%;">The battle of
Bauge was primarily fought on the English side by the mounted men at arms, led
by Thomas duke of Clarence and other knights. The chroniclers tell that the
earl of Salisbury followed Clarence with a contingent of archers, possibly
comprising of the rest of the English army, or just an element of it given the
apparent haste with which Clarence had set off to engage the Franco-Scots.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Salisbury’s
archers appeared to have arrived at Vieil Bauge on the aftermath of the
fighting and death of Clarence. They did engage with the enemy who held the
field on the 22nd March. Instead they returned the following day and were able
to retrieve the bodies of slain noblemen, including Clarence whose remains were
eventually to be interned in Canterbury Cathedral and to bury other dead. They
then retreated towards Normandy via Le Mans, evading the pursuing Scots.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">For the game I’m
adding the opportunity for Salisbury’s archers to arrive and fight – something
which may just tip the balance? Their arrival will be decided on a randomised
basis.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 107%;">So I need to
make some mounted English archers – who’ll then shoot and fight on foot. I’m
using the new Perry Agincourt Mounted Knights box again. There are 2 bodies (separate legs
and torsos) on each sprue with men wearing padded gambeson and arm options for
bows, swords, covered bows, arrow sacks etc. I’ve created some variations by
using heads, arms and cut-down torsos from the Perry Agincourt English archers
and French foots sprues, also the (smaller) arrow bags and a pair of arms from
the WotR Light Cavalry box too. I plan to add a few ‘period correct’ arrow bags
from the new box to the saddles, when they’re all painted. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 107%;">These are all
Perry plastics from the recent Agincourt Mounted Knights box. I’ve based them
on 50x100mm bases, which matches the frontage of the rest of my HYW collection.
I’ve really cheated a little by basing them with a 50mm frontage but placing
only 3 models on each (an idea from Lewis, who I occasionally game with). They
are relatively speedy paints, so the final detail/highlight that I’d usually
apply is missing from both horses and riders. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Washes on the base colours and a single
highlight in most cases - but they’ll look OK in the cavernous semi-gloom of
Salute. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

are out-the-box, although with the mounts I’ve removed some tack (the straps
across the rump and some studs, as I get fed up with painting these en masse).
As per previous post, I’ve fiddled with some chamfrons and the peytral
(removing some orbs and painting them as leather, rather than steel).</span></div>

3 units of English men at arms for the game; each denoted by a leader and their

be used as French in future games (such as Patay).<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 107%;">I’ve done a
couple of caparisoned horses. It seems that caparison were probably not
commonly worn by the early 15<sup>th</sup> century apart from tournaments,
although contemporary illustrations do show them, however this is possibly an
artistic device to denote kings and leaders through the display of their
heraldic arms? So Lord Roos sits on a Fireforge plastic horse (with Perry head)
and Clarence on a Steel Fist Miniatures – both requiring some surgery to cut
away the insides of the riders’ legs and the addition of saddles with modelling
putty, to make a good fit.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
The battle took place the day before
Easter Day in 1421, an important date in the medieval religious calendar.
Although the battle has been described as “little more than a disorderly scuffle”, it’s significant for three main reasons; i) the death of Henry V’s brother
Thomas, duke of Clarence and ii) the first English defeat on the battlefield
since Agincourt in 1415, and iii) the involvement of Scottish troops fighting in
a combined force alongside the French.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">For a
medieval engagement there are a good number of written sources for the battle –
including English, French, Scottish and Burgundian. The challenge is that they
are (inevitably) contradictory and confusing. Regrettably fifteenth century
chroniclers did not write their accounts with due consideration for the critical information that wargames 600 years really need to know! One of the fullest
modern accounts comes from ‘The Reign of Henry the Fifth’ (Volume 3) by Wylie
and Waugh (available online) and although written 90 years ago it's both comprehensive and
scholarly in relation the campaign and battle and feels more compelling than many recent writers,
such as Jonathan Sumption’s account in ‘Cursed Kings’ the relevant volume in his HYW series. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">My current
view of the battle narrative (but subject to
adjustments) is as follows:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%; text-indent: -18pt;">1. </span><span style="line-height: 107%; text-indent: -18pt;">The battle resulted from the English
seeking to defend territories conceded to them at the Treaty of Troyes in 1420.
The duke of Clarence led an English force (of about 4,000 men) along the Loire and
was encamped before Easter 1421 near Beaufort. A Franco-Scots force had been raised by the Dauphin to seek battle and had moved to Bauge from Angers. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%; text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%; text-indent: -18pt;">2. </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">The English had discovered the location of the Franco-Scots through the interrogation of captured prisoners. Despite it being
the day before Easter, Clarence immediately led a contingent of all his knights
and their men at arms towards Bauge. The archers were left to be organised by
the earl of Salisbury and to follow on. Clarence’s decision to engage with just
the men at arms appears rash with the benefit of hindsight and when considering
the role of English archery and combined arms in the battlefield victories of the HYW. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">3. </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">The English army was outnumbered. As
with most battles it's difficult to be precise on numbers; but the generally
agreed figures are about 1,500 English men at arms against 4-5,000 Scots and
French, with the former providing the majority, presumably with a force of
mixed arms. (I’ll post a future piece on the leaders and their heraldry etc).</span><br />

<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">4. The English approached Bauge town
from the south or south east, coming up from Beaufort (possibly following the
current D60 road). This led them to the Couasnon River, which runs to the east of
Bauge, near where it converges with the Altree River (both rivers being cited by different chroniclers). The crossing is referred to as Pont des Fees (the D722 on
modern maps).</span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">The first engagement took
place at the bridge crossing the river, where a small contingent of French were surprised by the English mounted knights. Close fighting took place and it’s possible that the English
had to dismount to force their way across – after which they then remounted.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">The modern Couasnon river is relatively narrow (see Google image) and
appears fordable – however contemporaries do reference wet, marshy ground running alongside and so the bridge seems to have been an important tactical feature
and possibly the only option for mounted men in full harness to cross at.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">5. Once across another fracas ensued
after some of the French fell back to a church, from where they hurled rocks at the
English, until they were by-passed. This maybe the Chapel of Fauborg St
Michael, on the edge of the medieval town and not far from the Pont des Fees bridge. The mounted English knights then
moved towards the town,to engage the Scots troops, who were by now alerted and
prepared. Where this took place we seem to have a fairly reliable location. It’s likely to be on land uphill from the river crossing, between
Bauge town and the village of Viliers Bauge (to the south west), along the crest of
a slope. This ridge may have masked the size of the Scots contingent from
Clarence as he rode up from the river towards the shallow plateau to attack. Today there
is a monument to the battle in this area and the local vicinity is called
‘La</span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Bataille’. There are also references to
fighting near a church and a graveyard – presumably of Viliers-Bauge.</span><br />

<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">6. </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">In the ensuing melees, in which the
English appear to have fought from horseback, the duke of Clarence was killed,
along with a number of other English noblemen, with others being captured. It
was most likely weight of numbers, along with Clarence’s death, which tipped
the day for the Franco-Scots. The earl of Salisbury’s troops – the army’s archers
– appear to have got close to the battlefield but not close enough to take part
on the day. Instead on the following day they collected Clarence’s
body and buried the English dead, then fell back to Le Mans. Clarence's </span>remains were buried in Canterbury Cathedral, under a magnificent alabaster effigy made in 1439.<br />

<span style="line-height: 107%;">My starting
point is to assemble the horses. The horse armour for these obviously
reflects the 1400-1430 period. Aside from the horse barding, contemporary
pictures show <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chamfrons</i>, protection
for the horse’s head (sometimes referred to as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">shaffrons</i>, particularly by the New York Metropolitan Museum I’ve
noticed) and short <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><i>crinnets</i></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, </i>a series
of small overlapping plates at the top of the horse's neck presumably to protect it from opponent’s wayward sword blows and sometimes worn with mail.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 107%;">The box
comes with two chamfron-protected horse heads. One is modelled on images in The
British Library’s ‘Book of the Queen’ by Christine des Pisan (Harley 4331), a
French manuscript of circa 1410 (see images) and the other I’ve found in an
image on Pinterest which annoyingly has no source reference. Other contemporary
images show ones in a very similar style to the ‘Warwick Chamfron’ in The Royal
Armouries. This is a single piece of steel, with additional large perforated
eye, ear nose protections.</span></div>

To create a
little variation, I've done some simple conversions. I’ve added eye and ear

plastic WotR Mounted Men at Arms also have protected horse heads which can be
used as they fit the same plastic horse bodies. There is one with a plain <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chamfron</i> and one which also has <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">crinnet</i> covering the entire neck (this is a little anachronistic, but I'll use it anyway). The
others with plumes attached are less useful, as they are of fluted ‘German’
design or have plated neck armour, both</span> <span style="line-height: 107%;">only seen in the later part of the century. Again the same
easy conversions have been done, using Green Stuff and ProCreate to add
protection, pierced by a needle for the viewing/breathing holes. I’ve also
extended the flared nose area to try and create a Warwick Chamfron style.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

So we're back! Sorry for the overlong hiatus. I've really been focussing my spare time on the Steel Fist Miniatures business. However I'm not going to include anything about the hobby business on this blog, unless there's an overlap with the historical theme of HYW.<br />
<br />
I recently received some test sprues from Alan Perry for their new Agincourt Mounted Knights 1415-1429, to paint a few up for his collection and so am using those for a brief review.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">The first thing I was struck by is that it is a packed
sprue, in total I’ve counted 77 separate parts to construct a wide variety of knights, men at arms or mounted archers for the circa1400-1430 period. The other
design note is that Alan has created separate torsos and legs – which
both increases build options and enables riders to be posed twisting in their
saddles. In total there are 18 pairs of legs and 36 torsos in the box, so by
buying 2 more plastic medieval horse frames (at £3 each), you can squeeze 18
horsemen from the 3 sprues in the box - extremely good value.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">More pieces means more variety for your figures, but
this is achieved by having to glue more parts together (which I
appreciate<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>isn’t everyones cup of
tea). A typical assembly is torso, legs, left and right arm
(although 2 bodies have left arm attached) and scabbard – plus the horse which
comprises of 3 parts. Then optional extras can include a weapon to an arm,
visor, shield, plume or an arrowbag for the archers. Horses also have optional
barding – this period is when evidence of protection for mounts starts and each sprue
contains a set of full mail (based on the Harley 4331 illuminated manuscript) in four sections to glue to the horse and a chest protection in 2 halves (the
contemporary source for which I’m not aware of and which I've painted as both leather and as steel). Two horse heads with steel
chamfons and short crinnets are also provided.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 107%;">The pack covers typical full steel knightly armour of the circa 1400-1430 period, and much can be seen in Toby Capwell’s book ‘Armour of The
English Knight 1400-1450’, although the surcoats and flowing sleeves worn by
knights of France and Northern Europe are also included. Two torsos wearing
padded gambeson are included, along with arms holding bows, lances and swords,
so that other mounted types can be made – including a bow in its cloth cover
with a half-circualr strap to add to the figure (which reminds me of the parts
you used to get with Brittains toys of my childhood and really shows how far
plastic mouldmaking for wargaming figures has come in recent years).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">The most fiddly part of assembly for me was adding the
mail barding – notably the two halves covering the horse’s chest. I used
plastic glue, which effectively melts to join one part to another. The best
approach seems to be to attach both sides at the same time to the horses flanks
and then glue and hold together the join of the two halves at the front with
small pliers, until you get a good bond. The other ends of the mail pieces
remain slightly proud and have to be glued down afterwards, again applying some
pressure until the glue sets off and creates a solid join.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">There is potential to mix these with selected parts
from the other Agincourt period boxes – weapons, arms, torsos and heads (with some
prudent surgery!) – to create even more variety. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Painting of plate armour and mail is actually pretty
straightfoward – a good covering of steel tone and any brass detailings,
followed by a wash of black and/or very dark brown, and then picking out some
highlights with steel or bright silver.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">In summary, this is a box which offers great value for
money (as each new Perry plastic set seems to do), combining historical
accuracy and much thought in design of components and sprue. So we get</span> many options to build early 15<sup>th</sup> century knights (or for use
by fantasy gamers too of course). I’ll be using a few boxes myself to create the duke of Clarence’s mounted
charge at the battle of Bauge 1421, for a demo at this year’s Salute show in
London.</div>

<br />
I've known Oliver, the business founder and sculptor, for a few years as he's made and converted a few figures for me for my Burgundian & Swiss collection. I have admired his sculpting style since seeing his first figures and like many others in their craft, the quality of his work is continually improving in my opinion. Oliver also shares an interest in both the history and the armour, equipment & clothing of the periods he sculpts, so his figures look just right.<br />
<br />
The good news is that Oliver will continue as main sculptor. We will expand all the existing ranges and have lots of ideas for new figures, as well as other areas that we can cover in due course. This is an exciting opportunity for me to get more closely involved in the hobby business and work closely with Oliver. I will be getting to grips with the sales process as soon as I can, including getting a new website, hopefully next month.<br />
<br />
Here's the announcement from Oliver, which sums up where we are at the moment.<br />
Thanks,<br />
Simon.<br />

So the game was played last Sunday. It was awarded Best Game, which was really pleasing for all of us who'd contributed to the game; Dave Andrews' English army and terrain (using his fantastic towelling method), Matt Bickley's unique conversions and detailed painting of the German nobility (including the blind King of Bohemia), and Dave Imrie's French nobility and crossbowmen (using many of his superb <a href="http://www.claymorecastings.co.uk/" target="_blank">Claymore Castings</a>).<br />

We managed to get about 260 mounted knights on the table for the French - just slightly shy of the target - as sadly time ran out for other figures and vignettes that were either planned or prepared but not finished. As we'd not had a dry-run, it was a squeeze to get all the French on the table. Rather than reflect the staggered arrival of the French, we popped all them on the table from the start and played it from there. We will run the game again sometime, with a larger tabletop.<br />

We used Hail Caesar rules, with amends prepared for us by Jack Glanville - who heroically umpired and kept the momentum going, so we could play and chat.<br />

The brief narrative is that the mercenary crossbowmen followed their predecessors and retired after making some casualties on the English holding the Crecy-Wadicourt ridge. The German knights (led by Matt Bickley) on the left then attacked, but lost momentum on the pot-hole defences dug before the English line.<br />

On the French right the Prince of Navarre (David Imrie) led more charges by mounted knights, but again failed to make inroads and the French were attracting to loose contingents of knights, as they retired from heavy casualties. Finally the Germans broke through and forced the English 'battle' on it's right to fall back. Renewed French attacks on the centre with King Phillip (moi) and the right also won melees and pressure built on the English line. The English right and centre was eventually forced back and King Edward (Dave Andrews) was forced to concede and retire back to the Channel coast.<br />

An immensely enjoyable day - and rewarding for the other Bodkins who'd been building their collections with immense diligence and patience over several years - nice looking toys and great company from everyone round the table. Also great to catch up with those who came along for a chat.<br />
<br />
I'll keep folk advised if and when we run it again - in the meantime look out for some proposed coverage in print and online in 'Wargames Illustrated' mag.<br />
<br />
Just some pics from here on in.<br />

So the last post before the Crecy demo game is a post mill - appropriately!<br />

Painting all done. Loads of great detail on this Grand Manner casting, so dry-brushing and washes does it. I added furled sails, using rolled knapkins and fine string soaked in diluted glue and based on illustrations of working ones at the start of the last century. My aim to show them quarter-furled became too complicated in the time I had left.<br />
<br />
According to several chroniclers, it was from a windmill behind the English position that Edward III prepared the positioning of the army for Crecy, and may have commanded the battle from there too.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the comments on the knights - will post a report & pics of the game.<br />

My contribution to The Bodkins Crecy demo game, at The Other Partizan next Sunday, is relatively modest compared to the other players. I have bulked out some very old mounted French knights which I did about 20 years ago with some additional bases.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
These are mainly Foundry riders on Front Rank mounts, which with a little bit of judicious cutting and filing, seem to fit Ok despite the horses being big sculpts. The horses are nice active poses and so create the sense of movement of charging French nobility needed for the game - plus they also fit those that David Imrie and Matt Bickley have done.<br />

So 12 bases of knights charging recklessly to their fate, and 4 bases of passive Front Rank figures awaiting in the vanguard . Much of the painting has been done at some speed to meet the deadline and I've made liberal use of LBMS transfers on 1st Corps shields, whilst avoiding heraldic beasts where I can. Conversions have been kept to a minimum too, apart from adding some plastic visors and headswops.<br />

<br />
Several other Bodkins have been working on this game for a couple of years; growing their collections of English and French for the mid fourteenth century. My contribution is relatively modest and I'll post more on these next week as I complete them - as well as pictures of the game itself.<br />

First up are a couple of carts carrying the pavises of the crossbowmen from the Italian peninsular, who were employed by King Phillip VI of France via Genoan captains for the campaign, since the English invaded in July 1346 and besieged Harfluer. At the battle the French were confident of victory and ordered the crossbowmen to advance and screen the French noblemen, without the protection of their pavises which had not been unloaded from the baggage. Consequently the crossbowmen took heavy casualties from the opposing English longbows and started to retire, only to then be ridden down by the first wave of attacked mounted French knights!<br />

<br />
The wagons are existing ones and I've simply added mix of Claymore Miniatures metal pavises, with LBMS transfers, and plastic Perry ones sandwiched in between the bundles to bulk them out. I decided (based on a lack of visual evidence) that the paves may have been strung together when moved on wagons. These will just be placed on the wagons for the game.<br />
Seems to work OK...<br />

This is for a forthcoming game - an iconic HYW battle featuring a windmill (possibly two according to some sources) - and which 'The Bodkins' will be playing at the next Partizan show on 20th August. More of this anon...including my modest contribution with some newly painted figures.<br />
<br />
The mill is a Grand Manner resin model, to which I'm adding mdf sails from the Sarissa Precision kit (as the Grand Manner ones are cast as a solid piece with no detailing on the rear). I'm considering adding partly furled cloth sails, as just the bare wooden frames don't make a windmill do what windmills do! Now on to the painting stage.<br />

I found a manuscript illustration of a religious image carved into a tree trunk. I thought this would make an unusual model for my medieval scenery. The contemporary illustration appears to show the image of a saint being blessed by a bishop, after being created by a carpenter. I've not seen any other images from the period however which show a tree with an integral religious image carved in.<br />

After I'd started the process of recreating the tree and saint, I looked more closely again at the image and it's context. I'm now more certain that this doesn't show an icon set in a tree. I think it's more likely to portray a narrative about the process by which carpenters created wooden icons - taking a commission, carving the image in the tree before cutting it down and then finishing the piece in a workshop (destined no doubt to be placed in a religious establishment or home of a high status individual). There may be good reasons for carving the image in a standing tree, but I would have thought that it was a more difficult process, as the wood would be wet and unseasoned to carve.<br />

The model has been made by <a href="http://www.debrisofwar.com/" target="_blank">Debris of War</a> - who I'm pleased to say are now making some of the trees previously made by Keith Warren of Realistic Modelling Services (who's enjoying his retirement). They sent me a trunk casting, which I drilled out a space to fit an icon that was a Green Stuff press moulding from a railway scenery model I have. Debris of War then completed the tree with paint and flock, to match others I have. I'm pleased with the result and I think it'll end up within a walled graveyard base to sit alongside the church, which seems appropriate.<br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">This is a new addition to my collection of buildings, representing a North European village church from the fifteenth century, for use with either my HYW or later Burgundians. Thought I'd post it here as the blog's been overdue a posting.</span></div>

The model is a Vollmer HO scale kit of a cathedral, but it scales up OK for a more modest sized church at 28mm (the doors are always the challenge when using smaller scale models and these look just about acceptable). It's got loads of well detailed gothic architecture and so looks just right for the fifteenth century and suitably european - whereas a lot of model railway churches look like they've been lifted across the channel from a parish in England.</div>

The model is out of production (says 'made in West Germany' on the box, just to date it!) and I managed to purchase this one from a shop in Germany. The base part was missing when I got the kit and so thought I'd have to create one. However I contacted Vollmer and they kindly offered to press a new one in the factory and send it over to me free of charge within 2 weeks - very impressive customer service!</div>

I've made the tower as a removable item - its tall (about 38 cms) and so is not easy to store and is also bound to get knocked when on the tabletop. As model railway kits are always a little fragile, I had to reinforce the open section at the top of the tower with metal pikes glued inside to add some rigidity and also drilled out the fancy decorations at the top of the tower and inserted a metal pin. I painted the clear plastic glazing a dark blue, after thinking long about doing some stained glass, to avoid peering inside which showed the construction. The only other change was to replace the roof sections with new sheets of tiles, as they had modern-looking skylights in them.<br />

However there will be future postings as I intend to refight more battles next year. In the meantime, I have had some spare time to paint up Hudson and Allen buildings which I've had lingering.<br />

One is an extra section of castle wall, to add to those which <span id="goog_1052544846"></span><a href="http://harness-and-array.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/verneuil-town-walls.html" target="_blank">John Boadle converted and painted for me several years ago<span id="goog_1052544847"></span>.</a> Most of the walls that I have shown some degree of damage from siege activity and I wanted another which was intact. No conversion work on this one, just cutting out the crenallations and adding a wash and skimming of plaster to the walls followed by the biggest challenge of matching John's paintwork. I can confirm that painting individual tiles in three shades is more than a little tedious(!), but I'm happy with the final results when they're lined up together.<br />

The barn is also a Hudson and Allen casting; I love the fine detail on these models which really is evident once you start adding washes and dry-brushing. I cut away most of the larger surrounding base of the model, to get a smaller footprint, and glued it to a thin plasticard base. It was then a case of simply painting to match other buildings I have (the rendered walls are a little less yellow that on these photos). I will add some farmyard clutter when I can locate the castings I have squirrelled away!<br />

The set-up reflected the French battle plan, drawn up a few days before the battle but not implemented on the day. This had crossbowmen positioned in the van and three main battles of men at arms, with small wings of mounted men at arms. We used 'Hail Ceaser' rules with the amends made by Alan & Michael Perry (thanks to them and the others at the event who kindly rallied to the distress email sent out on Friday evening when, sitting in a Leeds pub, I realised that I'd not packed any rules!). We'd planned to run the game twice during the day, using Impetus for the second one, but both time and energy ran out on us.<br />

The French attack stuttered a little at the start, but Stephen made headway with his mounted wing and Duke of Orleans battle, only to meet an effective arrow storm which inflicted casualties and stalled the advance. In the centre the crossbowmen got into range and exchanged shots with the English archers.<br />

The French nobility pressed on and the attack progresses in echelon, with the right wing advancing slowest, probably resulting from Stuart's dice throwing! The centre battle finally made contact - sweeping aside the first line of longbowmen and then pressing home into hand to hand melee with the English centre, including King Henry and the leading nobility. This seemed like the pivotal moment, as the French had superior numbers in support to exploit an advantage gained. However they narrowly lost and as they were carrying casualties from the advance under arrow shots, they retired and broke.<br />

On the English left the archers managed to stall the advance of the last French advance, again the accumulation of casualties from arrow storm seemed to be the main factor.<br />
<br />
So, Henry's God-given rights to the French crown were upheld, and on St George's day to boot!<br />

The day seemed well attended, with a good flow of visitors from mid morning - including a good number of wargamers who were aware of the event, but some of the visiting public who were brave enough to enter a room full of folk hunched over tables and moving model soldiers about! We did our best to convey what we were trying to do with the game. There was a good selection of other HYW games and related societies.<br />
<br />
It was great to talk to everyone on the day. Another highlight was the informative illustrated talk by Dave Marshall and the Perrys on planning and constructing the Agincourt 600 diorama, which we had a quick look at in its permanent location at the Armouries. Sadly we didn't have time to take in all the armour galleries.<br />
