Revisiting Verneuil

Long ago, I happened upon some interesting articles on the pivotal battle of Verneuil, and knocked out a quick DOK version that turned out to be a fun refight. Ken Blackley very kindly added it, along with a superb pre battle situation brief and the historical results, to his venerable DOK Homepage. Sadly, and predictably, I was wrong on a number of issues. My first series of articles will try to address these missteps. Stay tuned!

So what’s this blog?

From the very first moment I bought it in 1997 at an Austin hobby store, I had a feeling that Days of Knights (hereafter DOK) was special. It’s 2019 and I was right. Look at me!

This blog will probably propose an infinite amount of awful house rules, a tiny proportion of working ideas, and hopefully some interesting scenarios and game situations. We’ll see.
