Revisiting the Battle of Whetstone (A YouTube Short)

In this video, we head back to the Shed-o-War for another clash of medieval steel and arrows! The Posties Rejects gathered for a 28mm Wars of the Roses game, played out on a hot summer Sunday under the watchful eye of our host, Postie. The Battle of Whetstone was a fictional engagement set the day before the historic Battle of Barnet, one of the decisive moments of the Wars of the Roses. Both armies mustered their retinues of knights, men-at-arms, billmen, archers, and artillery, ready to fight for either York or Lancaster. With deployment decided by the roll of the dice, fortunes quickly shifted as the tabletop battlefield took shape.


What followed was a tense and hard-fought wargame filled with tactical manoeuvres, archery duels, and brutal hand-to-hand fighting. Could the Yorkist king hold his ground, or would the Earl of Warwick and his Lancastrian host turn the tide before the real battle ever took place? This game shows off the drama and spectacle of 28mm historical wargaming at its best, complete with beautifully painted miniatures, a detailed battlefield, and plenty of banter from the Rejects.
