The Battle of Montlhéry 1465- Help!

Hi Folks, 

I'm looking for accounts of the The Battle of Montlhéry 1465, during the War of the Public Weal in English

Better still, a wargames scenario of some sort that I could maybe translate- that to go along beside my research?

If you can help- or are exceptionally good at translating French, please do get in touch. with via PM where I can send you my email address if necessary. :)

Late Roman, Equites Scholae, Heavy Cavalry


Ironically, due to a gamut of other stuff cropping up, and considering this was a "speed painted" project/unit; this set of 12 highly trained Equites Scholae have certainly taken their time to hit the wargames table. They did so last night and actually survived. an unusual event for a freshly finished unit.


Six of the horses were painted with the sponge method and the other six with a flat matt black basecoat, medium grey drybrush and then a careful even coat of contrast paint. It is now clear to me that the (amazingly rapid) sponge method is both superior in the overall visual appeal and time taken. This, at least for my Late Roman army cavalry wing, will be my chosen method from now on. I'm not going to go back and paint up another 6 horses with the sponge method despite the unit looking a bit odd with both types of speed painted horses included! I will have to live with it.

Anyway, please enjoy the rest of the pictures. There will certainly be much more to come, hopefully soon, for the Late Roman army!









Cheers

Wargames Atlantic Dark Age Cavalry

I would love to see an image of a sprue of these if anyone has any kicking around?
