Golgotha's Medieval - Never Mind the Billhooks

 We are trying to organise a Never Mind The Billhooks game at the club so been looking at what War of the Roses miniatures I can muster. 

According to the Deluxe rules:

 "Billhooks Deluxe gives you a ‘Core’ Wars of the Roses ruleset and then

expands that to cover seven new Theatres and Conflicts from across Western

European Christendom c.1350-1525. You will find troop stats and special

rules for Irish Gallowglass, Hussite War Wagons, and Landsknecht Pikemen

along with all the other troop types to be found on battlefields of the period,

from Hundred Years’ War France to Renaissance Italy."

Though I see no real reason why you could not use the rules for earlier Medieval than suggested by the rules - but you would need to create own stats and many troops would have significantly less armour. Clue is in the title of the rules as Billhooks are a feature of later Medieval armies.
