War Of The Roses

Pete and I have been best mates for the best part of 20 years.  In that time we game whenever possible as we moved around but interspersed with armies but no opponents, or opponents but no matching sides.  To this end we both ended up fielding both sides of whatever period or scale was the current "In Thing".  For WWII we both have both sides (and a lot more) but for the slightly right of centre periods one of us normally ends up with both sides.  It makes visiting so much easier as we never forget that unit sat drying in the airing cupboard.  I developed, thanks to Peter Pig, a liking for their War Of The Roses rules and figures produced under the "Bloody Barons" title.
