Plantagenet Cousins War for England 1459 - 1485

In Plantagenet, the latest volume in Volko Ruhnke's Levy & Campaign Series, players take charge of one of two factions through three key war periods. You can play as individual scenarios or experience the full Wars of the Roses. Designer Francisco Gradaille adds overall and local political influence to Volko's medieval operation system. This reflects the shifting loyalties of the era while keeping the gameplay familiar to series fans. Players will build and manage a network of allied lords and nobles to get the supplies and money needed for their armies. Since ravaging and looting can harm each side's reputation, each faction will try to persuade cities to join them. Major battles aim to kill or capture enemy lords, maybe even a king. There are two types of operational moves: military and political. In the end, one rose will claim the throne. Whether it's the white rose of York or the red rose of Lancaster, gather your troops and banners and enter the fight.

To play Plantagenet, first choose one of the two factions. You can start with individual scenarios or go for the full Wars of the Roses experience. As you play, focus on building a network of allied lords and nobles. They'll help you get the supplies and money your army needs. Remember, ravaging and looting can hurt your faction's reputation, so try to convince cities to join you instead. In battles, aim to kill or capture enemy lords, as this can give you a big advantage. When making moves, use both military and political strategies. There's no need to worry about complex rules, just have fun and enjoy the game. After each game, keep your game materials in a safe place to prevent damage. If you have any questions, feel free to check the official website or ask other players.
