Wargame Rules

BLOG BACKGROUND AND WARGAME RULES
I have set up this blog for my wargaming interests in the Muscovite-Tartar Wars, Reconquista Wars, the Barbary Coast Pirates, and the early campaigns of the Ottoman Turks and Saracens. Some lesser known crusades will also be covered. Miniatures are mainly 28mm with a growing collection in 54mm. If my photographs serve to encourage others to complete their collections I shall be pleased. I will also be mentioning other sites with interesting collections on the above. Do join the 'Friends' if you like what you see.

I prefer to use my own rules which are kept simple and involve eight-sided dice. These allow for fast results with various types of weaponry. Morale dominates my games.

Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, Crossbowmen

A small unit of Granadine crossbowmen are ready to take the field. The crossbow became a very popular weapon with the civic militia. The banner is based on one which appears on the painting of the Battle of La Higueruela. The figures are mainly Chariot Miniatures with a few from Artisan Miniatures. MGB
