Having done a quick tour of the show in my last post, this post gives a little flavour of the Lance and Longbow Society game.
The imaginary battle of San Giovese 1499 allowed two roughly equal forces of infantry and cavalry to fight for control of land around a priory.
Using modified Lion Rampant rules to handle base elements rather than single figures the game was run against the clock (60 minutes). In theory both sides had a slightly stronger right flank although in both games I joined the outcome was decided by total losses rather than a flank being swept away.
Essentially 2 or 3 players per side were assisted by an Umpire.
These were good and quick games to play, face to face and in a relaxed way.
So thanks to the Lance Longbow Society for running this game.

Thanks James, yes sometimes a simple arrangement shows off the game and figures very well.
