Happy Anniversary!

As those of you will know who looked at the Wikipedia main page today, June 16th is the anniversary of Stoke Field - the 528th, to be exact.  So in honor of the day, I took some quick photographs Lincoln's army as it stands now, in various states of (in)completion.

Looking back on these past months of work, I can say I'm pleased with what I've managed to do so far and somewhat daunted by how much work remains undone.  Even though I've got the larger part of the original army list done, I'm still far from my goal.

Here's what's left of the original list:
1 base Anglo-Irish, from the Pale (partially finished)
1 base Galloglass
1 base Kern
3 standards to complete command bases
1 base of Lambert Simnel/Richard Symonds
Vignettes
Pikemen to complete the partially finished German bases

and for the enlarged list (to be used more as a generic mercenary army):
1 base crossbowmen (partially finished)
1 base halbardiers
2 bases light cavalry
2 cannon
1 base mounted command

The weather and my recent vacation have put me out of the 15th-century mood a bit, but thinking about what remains to be done and seeing what's been accomplished so far has given new life to the project.

So, let us remember the boy-king, the White Rose and the Red, and the men whose blood drenched a little field south-east of Newark.
