Set up for Battle of Towton, March 29, 1461

 This Saturday I will be running the Battle of Towton at the Gardiner Public Library in Gardiner, NY. Actually the plan is to run it twice, for a morning and and afternoon session. The game will be played using the Test of Resolve rules; a game with them seldom lasts much over 2 hours. Towton is said to have been the largest battle ever fought on English soil, and was fought during a spring snowstorm, with the wind and snow blowing into the faces of the Lancastrians.
