What is Never Mind the Billhooks
Never mind the Billhooks is set at the Big Skirmish/Small battle level, the sort of thing that probably went on a lot of the time, particularly up around the Scottish borders, without ever troubling the chroniclers.
My original inspiration was Nibley Green, Gloucestershire, fought in 1470 between the private armies of Lords Lisle and Berkeley, with no more than 1,000 men a side.
Billhooks is a card-activated game with points-based random army generation and using only good old D6s.
You roll dice to hit and dice to save (depending on armour) so it’s very familiar Old School in that respect.
