Reply To: Medieval Era Systems – Skirmish and Large Battles

Cry Havoc (and it’s supplements) remains a firm favourite. And can be easily turned into a “3D” version by adding some 28mm minis. It should certainly scratch that skirmish level niche for medieval gaming.

Bigger Scale? I’d probably be looking at using the renaissance rules by George Gush. Although a bit later in period (just leave out the later arms and armour) these always played a bit better than the WRG ones written for the period (or possibly I just played the Gush rules a lot more and am more familiar with them).

Warning, these are a product of their time, so might seem a little “rules heavy” in this day and age. Still always had good games with them.
