Another week, another set of rules – this week it was Donnybrook, from the League of Augsburg team – http://leagueofaugsburg.blogspot.co.uk/ I’m looking for a set of rules (a) to use for a display game at our clubs show (http://www.durhamwargames.co.uk/show/index.htm), and (b) to use as a generic skirmish set that we can dip into from time…
