Category: Hundred Years WarFrom 1337 to 1353 France and England fought for control of the French throne in what became known as the Hundred Years’ War. The war is commonly divided into three phases separated by truces: the Edwardian Era War (1337–1360), the Caroline War (1369–1389) and the Lancastrian War (1415–1453). Although largely fought in France the Hundred Years’ War spelt over into the Iberian peninsular. The War of the Two Peters (1356-1375; Castile versus Aragon), the Castilian Civil War (1366-1369; King Pedro against his brother Henry of Trastámara), and the Portuguese Interregnum (1383-1385; resulting in the Aviz dynasty coming to power) were all fought within the context of the larger Anglo-French conflict. 
Joe Collins has highlighted a number of problems with DBA 3.0 and suggested ways to address these problems. Collin’s was part of the group that developed DBA 3.0 so he is both a fan and on the inside team. I really like Collin’s attempt to tackle some big problems with DBA. It would be great if more people did this, starting with Phil Barker. Unfortunately, Collin’s particular suggestions mostly leave the problems unsolved. I do like his solution for Bow but even that needs more.
I’m in the process of putting my Medieval Spanish or Portuguese onto Big Bases. since I want to use them for Big Base DBA I thought I’d have a look at the army list in DBA 3.0. Well, it is different to that is DBA2.2, so I thought I’d do a side by side comparison. I thought I’d list all the Warmaster Historical (Ancients and Medieval) army lists with a view to seeing what I’ve got. By 1250 the Reconquista was in full swing and in 1492 the Christians captured Granda, the last of the Muslim enclaves. A quick look at key bits of kit. Orders of Battle for various battles within the Reconquista. From Barber (1978) pg 87-89. My specialty is ‘Luso-Spanish’ Military History, that is, the wars of Spain and Portugal or, put another way, Iberian Wars. This specialty has pros and cons. The pros are that it covers a lot of history and I have an excuse to buy armies from some fascinating conflicts. The cons are exactly the same as the pros. |
