Description

Men of Iron, Volume V

The Men of Iron series is designed for quick learning and easy play. Game rules are short, there are no turns - play is continual, with opportunities to steal play from your opponent - and combat resolution is a single die roll. Playing time is about 1-3 hours per battle.

The series is also for the gamer who enjoys playing solitaire. The system is designed for both individual and face-to-face play without any loss in insight or fun. It allows a player or players to see what happened in these famous battles and why. Ther are no purpose-built solitaire rules, but many players play that way.

This entry features units such as crossbows, men-at-arms (mounted, dismounted, and unhorsed), axe-armed infantry (Saxon & Viking housecarls), pike (or other polearmed armed) infantry, archers, and a few Welsh longbows. Commanders featured are such luminaries as: Robert Guiscard, Norwegian King Harald III (Hardrada); Saxon King Harold II; William II (aka the Conqueror), Duke of Normandy; English King Henry I; English King Henry III; Edward, Lord of Chest (later King Edward I); and Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester.
