The first volume of 'Men of Iron' covers the re-emergence of infantry and combined-arms warfare in the early 14th century. The scenarios highlight the key elements that made these battles so fascinating - the defensive power of the longbow, especially when used in coordination with dismounted, or even mounted, men-at-arms. 'Men of Iron' is designed for quick learning and easy play. Game rules are short, there are no individual turns - play is continual, and combat resolution is decided by a single die roll. Playing time is about 1 hour per battle. 'Men of Iron' is also ideal for solitaire play. Featured units include longbows, crossbows, men-at-arms (mounted, dismounted and unhorsed), hobilars, genitors, nasty Scots with axes, and even a couple of bombards! And the commanders include Edward III and his son, The Black Prince, Wallace and Robert the Bruce! The battles include Falkirk, Courtrai, Bannockburn, Crecy, Poitiers and Najera. Age: 12 + For 1 or 2 players Playing time: Approx. 1 hour (per battle) Contents: Two 32" x 22" map sheets (inc. 6 Battle maps)
