In this Medieval Wargaming Q&A, I’ll be tackling your questions about everything from sources and types of miniatures to siege rules, historical accuracy, and legendary commanders. Whether you’re building your first army or refining your siege tactics, we’ll explore how to bring medieval battles to life on the tabletop with depth, detail, and a touch of history.”
A big thanks to my friends Lazzy , Champion Aeternal and Rosco1415 for compiling this wonderful Q&A video questionnaire.
I forgot to edit in the cards for Blood and Crowns Rules and TACTICA Medieval but you are all familiar with both and you can very easily find them on the channel here are both links for easier access.

Chapters
00:00 Cinematic Introduction/Medieval wargaming Prologue
0:56 If starting completely from scratch would you recommend to start wargaming HYW either from early or late period?
3:09 What miniatures should one start with for the recommended period? Would the plastic Perry
miniatures sets work well as a starting point?
4:05 The thing about the basing… How to do it? Mount figures as singles or on multi bases?
5:58 What sources there are for the miniatures in general and most importantly; how to narrow down the overwhelming selection?
9:50 What sources there are for painting reference and inspiration for the miniatures? What historical sources would you recommend for those beginning to get to know the period?
11:09 What rules set do you think could be a nice starting point for the miniatures recommended?
Skirmish, big battles or anything in between as long as you think it is beginner friendly.
14:00 After this, where to next? What to add to the armies and what rules sets might you recommend for next step
15:30 Siege battles for medieval tabletop sound really difficult to pull off, but also look extremely fun. Do you have any experience and/or recommendations for rule supplements that cover things like:
Siege Machines: Siege towers, battering rams (how they work, and should they be
destructible?)
Setup: Points values (should attackers get a larger force/defender gets lesser force to
balance the game?)
Siege Mechanics during the battle (climbing ladders, breaching gates/walls, fighting on
walls - are these interactions feasible?)
20:12 Who is your favorite medieval leader / commander?
21:40 What is your favorite medieval faction to Wargame with? (E.g. Scottish during the first
war of independence).
22:38 Is there a medieval theatre of war that you've never wargame, but would like to in the
near future
24:12 Outro/ Final thoughts
