I am hoping to be able to go but I won't be competition gaming indeed I will be taking a stout stick at least to beat the competition gamers off should they approach.

Hi Ray
I will be at Derby on Saturday with the Like a stone wall wargames group who will be gaming Flodden, It would be nice to see you and see the figures in the flesh.

cheers Nick

Hi Ray et al
Sorry for the delay but here are some pics of our Flodden 1513 game as displayed at Worlds last weekend.

(Note: There appeas to be a green haze on these and on other pics of the show I have seen on various blogs etc)

We managed to speak to all who came to enquire about the game and about the specially constructed terrain (made by project manager Rich Hattersley) and get to play the game through twice over the two days.

Results? A Scottish win on day 1 :shock: (Edmund Howard killed and The Bastard Heron nowhere in sight to save him!) and a Scottish disaster on day 2 with their King being killed whilst his pike block was on the verge of breaking from the flimsy English line. :P
