War of the Roses - Update

Battle of First St. Albans

On May 22nd, 1455 the forces of the House of Lancaster and York collided at the sleepy town of Saint Albans.   Traditionally the First Battle of Saint Albans marks the beginning of the War of The Roses, the dynastic struggle to control the English Throne between the House of Lancaster and House of York.

Richard, the 3rd Duke of York led 3,000 men towards London and were confronted by 2,000 men loyal to King Henry V at Saint Albans north of London.  The first battle of Saint Albans was a decisive Yorkist Victory even though the Total Casualties were only 160 combined.

The Centurions are planning to add the War of The Roses to our rotation of games begging on Saturday November 1st, 2025, utilizing Field of Glory Ancients 3rd Edition.  There may not be additional forces available to play for our first game.   Detailed information on Force Construction and Allegiance system may be found here.

On August 16th, before the FOG-Ancients game, we will be hosting a show and tell to display the figures painted so far in preparation for future games.

Initial Command

One unit of six stands longbowmen and one unit of four stands billmen and a dismounted Troop Commander.

Note: The Centurions are adding a new class of dismounted billmen or spearmen with an "armor type" of protected as opposed to Armored or Heavily Armored as required by the list.   This should give better representation of the different categories or class of men who filled these roles on the Battlefield during the period.
