The other day I told my friend Sören that I would go medieval on Donnybrook...or with Donnybook I suppose are better expressed. As you know I can´t help trying to adopt all wargaming rules to my favorite period,
The Kamlar Union War i.e. Swedish civil war during the 15th century...so now the Donnybrook rules have meet the same fate...in my search for the wargaming worlds holy grale, the perfect rules set for my specific period;)
Sorry for abuse your cover art Clarence...
As I realy liked our first games using the Donnybrook rules for our Scanian War project and the rules are very easy to adopt to other settings and I like the use of "Characters" to add periodic flavour to the game and bonuses to unit or fraction... so I decided to have a go for a medieval variation of the Donnybrook rules...
You can read a bit more about it at my blog, hope to have the first AAR up in a day or so...
Best regards Michael

Good call. I know the feeling of the search for the rules grail. I'm going through a period of being jaded with GW-esque rule systems

Gentlemen,
If you are happy to cooperate with Clarence, myself and David Imrie of Claymore Castings then you may be able to help us with the Donnybrook late medieval supplement we already have planned.. please let us know

That goes for ALL alternate periods... if you have adapted Donnybrook for other theaters or time periods, get in touch with one of us! We are planning supplements to expand the game and your expertise in your favorite era is welcome!

I have adapted Donnybrook for 15th century skirmishes myself. Didn't test it out yet, but on the paper all looks lovely so far.

Sounds like a lot of chaps are getting the Donnybrook fever! It's a very "catching" malady.

Very interested in both medieval and Dark Age adaptations...
Can feel a Lord of the Isles faction circa 1410 demanding attention!
