WotR Yorkist colours

[JCgoose]

I was just wondering if anyone had some ideas on the colour scheme of a Yorkist Army in WotR. I've had a look for a few but doesn't seem to come up with much. The help would be greatly received

Cheers

You could get the Osprey 'Wars of the Roses' volume. That includes a number of liveries. If you want more detail, I would strongly recommend the publications by the Lance and Longbow Society for this:
http://lanceandlongbow.com/

'Standards, Badges & Livery Colours of the Wars of the Roses' gives you plenty of detail about the liveries worn by various lords' retainers as well as a good selection of details on the standards carried.

The three volumes on heraldic banners are also very useful. The Lance and Longbow Society also produces two volumes of sourcebooks for the Poleaxed rules. The sourcebooks give you orders of battle for every battle of the Wars of the Roses that is worth fighting. They even explain why specific battles would not be interesting to refight and have been excluded. The lists in the sourcebooks are really easy to convert to other systems too.

With that lot you should be able to construct a realistic Yorkist Wars of the Roses army for any part of the Wars of the Roses.

Hope this helps,

This one alone should do you nicely - Vexillia sell it and gove good service IMO; http://www.vexillia.ltd.uk/common/shop_books.html#5

They also carry the Freezywater flag range - http://www.vexillia.ltd.uk/freezywater/index.html - which are a great time saver

If you want to do your army for a specific battle you can find enough info on who was at which on the web - http://www.richard111.com/roses.htm for example.
