This is the Dominion of the Roses Fight Battles of the Wars of the Roses Solo Game.
This standalone set of rules is built on the Dominion of the Spear solo game system with appropriate rule changes for the Wars of the Roses, most noticeably missile fire before melee starts in earnest and units being defeated after two hits instead of one.
These are very very simple rules with armies of 3-6 units and a solo battle can be fought in 10 minutes or so. An example play through is included of the Battle of Tewkesbury 1471.
There is a Quick Reference Sheet on the back cover.
Use paper and pen (or model figures of any scale) as there is no measuring (grid used).
