RELEASED LATE NOVEMBER 2022.
Billhooks is a fast-action game of late medieval European warfare,
set at the small battle/big skirmish level - think Nibley Green rather
than Towton.
You will need around 100 figures a side, lots of D6, and a 6 x 4 foot
table - everything else you need to play the game is included in this
book. A typical game can be played through in around 90 minutes (or
rather less if the Dice Goddess wills it!).
Billhooks Deluxe gives you a ‘Core’ Wars of the Roses ruleset and
then expands that to cover six new Theatres and Conflicts from across
Western European Christendom c1350-1525. So you will find troop stats
and special rules for Irish Gallowglass, Hussite War-Wagons, and
Landsknecht Pikemen along with all the other troop types to be found on
battlefields of the period, from 100 Years’ War France to Renaissance
Italy.
The game uses a card-driven turn sequence and many tried and tested
combat mechanisms to produce battles that are full of period flavour but
always unpredictable.
Play one game of Billhooks and you’ll want to play another!
The following are the Theatres and Conflicts you can find in this book:
Albion - The Wars of the Roses
Gallia - The Hundred Years’ War
Bohemia - The Hussite Wars
Helvetia - The Swiss-Burgundian War
Italia - The Italian Wars
Northumbria - The Anglo-Scottish Border Reivers Lusitania - Late Medieval Portugal
Hibernia - Warfare in Ireland
Finally, there is a Modelling Masterclass chapter with a
comprehensive guide to painting, modelling, and kitbashing 28mm plastic
figures.
