Really important find

Looks interesting. I think it's very much a case of these discoveries building up a picture

I suspect that, whichever war is under consideration (Anthony's question), the answer will be "Not much".

If your manufacturer is trying to do both, then you might find more difference between the First Barons' War (1215-1217) and de Montfort's Second Barons' War (1264-1267) than between the two sides in either conflict.

Do you know which one he wants to do? 

Hello chums, a figure manufacturer of my acquaintance wants to launch their 10mm Baron's War range with a demo game and has asked my advice on armies.
While I can advise on displays and basing etc I know the sum of naff-all about the period.
His main query is how the Royal and Rebel armies may differ?
Broad stroke advice and ideas are welcome!

Having spent some time opening boxes of painted and unpainted 25mm, I could probably field 'look alike' Gepids and Heruls, mounted and foot, from my Germanic boxes, mind I also have some unpainted Citadel 25mm that would make good Gepid and Herul cavalry once painted and possibly given bigger horse models. Tempting...

I did fancy painting up some Herul foot warriors, a la Michael Fredholm von Essen illustration, but DBMM (list II/80) only allows four Ps elements, (half bow half javelin armed) so not as exciting as I had hoped!

It is interesting.

Let's hope Greek Fundamentalists don't see it and start a war to recover Anatolia for the Greek Church and home country....

apologies I think I just went OTT in 'real politik' terms....
