Back to Braveheart, I will say that it has inspired a lot of wargamers to give Medievals a go, so that's a good thing. As a film, it's fairly watchable, but it isn't history and I do wonder how many people, wargamers included, believe that it is.

There have been AND I have watched most of them....documentaries about Braveheart. Those docs did go into the truth(s) versus what goes onto the big screen.

Braveheart. Nasty piece of work gets caught by the forces of law and disembowelled. What's not to like?
