War of the Roses

As a group we have had a long running discussion about wargaming the War of the Roses [WotR]. A few of us had previously purchased a box (or) two of figures for the WotR when the Source Comics and Games carried Perry Miniatures. Fitz and I have been discussing how to move the project forward recently and getting figures on the table.

This weekend Pat B. informed me the Source will again be carrying Perry Miniatures, assuming everything goes as planned, in the near future. There is an opportunity to piggyback on the first order if you are interested.

WotR has a low cost entry point, while we don't have the price yet figure about $40 (give or take) for a box of Perry Plastics. WR1 - War of the Roses Infantry, has 40 figures which can be configured into 2 Leaders, 15 Billmen, 18 Archers and 5 extra figures. This arrangement is the basis of an "Allied Command" for Field of Glory (3rd Edition). This mix creates a Troop Commander, 4 Bases of Protected Billmen (16 figures), and 6 bases of Archers (18 figures).

If you are interested in participating in this project let me know.
