Billhooks is a fast-action game of late medieval European warfare, set at the small battle/big skirmish level - think Nibley Green rather than Towton. You will need around 100 figures a side, lots of D6s, and a 6’ x 4’ table. A typical game takes around 90 minutes but rather less if the Dice Goddess wills it!
A core Wars of the Roses ruleset establishes how to play the game.
A pre-battle manoeuvring phase builds tension until one commander commits to their attack.
The card-driven turn sequence and simple but exciting combat mechanisms (with loads of dice being rolled!) produce battles that are full of period flavour but always unpredictable.
Seven new Theatres across Western European Christendom c.1350-1525 bring extra rules.
Varied troops include Irish Gallowglass, Hussite War Wagons, and Landsknecht Pikemen along with other troop types found on battlefields of the period, from Hundred Years’ War France to Renaissance Italy.
