That looked like it was great fun! As we know, the British and Americans are two nations divided by a common language so for anyone who’s confused: Warwick and “Worrick” are the same person - the latter is how it’s pronounced. Pembroke and “Pembrook” likewise. Also Herbert is his family name so we’d say “William, earl of Pembroke” or “William Herbert, earl of Pembroke” but not “Herbert, earl of Pembroke” (although you could speak of “the Herbert earls of Pembroke” to distinguish them from the Tudors who held the title later). The honorific “Sir” for a knight is never used with just the surname so “Sir William Parr” or just “Sir William” but never “Sir Parr”. Hope this is helpful - certainly not intended as criticism; I loved the video.
Just about to type the same. It saddens me that on a bus service in Bristol, where it's pronounced incorrectly at a stop, for war.. wick road instead of worrick. Always irritates me.
It's worth noting that the last convention isn't just some interesting archaic nugget of information, it's how we still refer to very much living people in the present day. Sir Cliff Richard and Dame Kelly Holmes might be Sir Cliff and Dame Kelly respectively, but you'd never hear Sir Richard or Dame Holmes! 🙂
The American pronunciations of British counties and places always makes me smile. Warwick is Wa-rick to us English and Northamptonshire is North-hamp-ton-sheer to us haha
On the subject of pronunciation, I have to force myself to endure people - in person or in videos - who persist in referring to men on horseback as "cal·va·ry", vice "cav·al·ry". Makes me cringe every time...
@@LittleWarsTV It's a Shibboleth so we can spot the infiltrators. ;-) Similar to eating with knives and forks.

That was a lot of fun, and the commentary added a lot to the video. Also, the acute lack of tactical finesse displayed by both sides made this a very accurate simulation of a WotR battle!
It's always a family friendly atmosphere in Mark's Game Room! For some reason, his club doesn't seem to require as much bleeping and censoring as our club....huh....
What fun! After all we can all acknowledge we are just playing with toy soldiers. History and international camaraderie, what a wonderful battle report! The amount of laughter was wonderful. Sometimes it feels like we take ourselves way too seriously. Thank you for this great video!!

Great to see Test of Resolve ! We have started playing the Scenarios at the Club evenings. Lots of fun being had. Great period feel and scenarios. Will do Edgecote next week now!
Really enjoyable. And finaly some Wars of the Roses content. But as a history buff of the era I must arrest you on two things. 1. it is the Wars of the roses, not the war of the roses 😜 2. the painting in the opening is not Edward IV, it is Henry VI (his opponent for the throne). Great bat rep, I would love to follow this channel 😁
I live about thirty minutes from the site of this battle on the other side of Northamptonshire! Since so much of the civil wars happened around this area, I also regularly go past the Battle of Naseby and I'm sure there are loads of others hereabouts.
Very funny game. In our games my son fell asleep normaly after 1 hour and therefore half of the army commanded by him was in trouble but it was very funny and he loves gaming nevertheless. Your battle is very much forward - not too complicated decissions for both sides. Thank you for the video and all your work!
This game was a roaring good time. It must have been because I have no idea how the rules work or how the fight came out the way it did. There's also something about the victor yelling, "In your face" that just seemed to nail your video down as a great one. In all seriousness, very nice editing by the way. Look forward to your new channel and you can count on my subscription. Well done!
Good to see anything related to Edgecote. My hometown is between Edgecote and the far more famous site of the Battle of Edgehill. Also, I believe the Danesmoor you mentioned was the site of an earlier battle between the Saxons & Danes.
Where do you hail from, then? I have never seen the place name spelt other than Edgcote in the surrounding area. I even wrote a research paper on the subject (!). The battle on Danes Moor is as much apocryphal as anything. There's virtually no evidence at all. I have a feeling it isn't even in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle. It might just be a place where Danes camped at one time, or even a corruption of a different word entirely. For example in "Losecote" many will tell you that Cote = Coat and it refers to the throwing away of livery jackets. In fact it means pig sty. Geez, studying this period can make you boring....
@@grahamevans5218 I'm originally from Banbury so was brought up on tales of Civil War horsemen haunting the area near Edgehill. I think I've seen both spellings for Edgcote but I had Edgehill on my mind so subconsciously typed it that way. I had heard that Danesmoor was possibly a folk etymology and there may never have been a battle there. As this part of the world was the border between the Danelaw and Mercia/Wessex I'm sure lots of hijinks ensued over the years. I've often wondered about the etymology of Ruscote as that was the avenue I lived in. I know the cote refers to a structure but no idea what the Rus part means. I find placenames, particularly Anglo-Saxon ones, intriguing. See I can be boring too.
@Graham Evans I'd love to but I live in exile in the New South Wales colony these days. I'm back in the UK occasionally but I always seem to time it badly. I missed out on the latest Edgehill reanactment.
Awesome video!! Unbelievable dice rolls! No adverse criticism intended but foreign pronunciations always make me smile Warwick should be pronounced Warrick, Northamptonshire/Northampton-shear, Pembroke/Pembrook Sound levels could use some work but I really enjoyed this latest LWTV offering.
5:00 I have to disagree with the opinion that the period of War of the Roses is the peak of armour as an art. The peak of the armourer's art was reached later, first in the form of the Maximilian armour which finally transformed into Groß Garnitur.
It's a point of view. I was looking at the practical use of armour on the battlefield. It doesn't get any better in terms of its utility. Personally, I prefer the clean lines of late 15th century armour to the elaborate fluting of the Maximillian style.
@@grahamevans5218 I understand, it is a matter of opinion and tastes to a degree. However, I would still insist that when it comes to utility the later XVI-century armour (grossgarnitur), does in fact get better. Particularly in how much more flexible it is over mid to late XV-century armour thanks to its modular design. In the case of XV-century armours it is always a compromise between designs more suitable for fighting on foot or from horseback. If you want the best of both worlds in the XV century you are forced to buy two separate suits of armour. In the later period, however, armours become more modular, most advanced sets could be worn in 4 different configurations consisting of between 2 to 4 different helmets and elements allowing for configuring the armour from typical cavalry armour to foot or even tournament armour. All in one.
@@kamilszadkowski8864 I've gone back and listened to what I said, and I think I'm happy with it. In terms of battlefield protection "white" armour doesn't get a lot better. Modularity and so on is just tinkering with the kit, rather than a great leap forwards in look and fighting functionality. I'd also add that discussing armour is one of those subjects in this period that is a bit like heraldry. Don't get involved is my normal motto. There's always someone out there who knows a bit more than you do.
Similar happened to me playing Axis&Allies with my brother and his son. Kid attacked with a stack of infantry and seemed to roll 1s as needed. I lost. There was much crowing by a certain rascal.

Great looking figures. Interesting looking rules. Amazing table. Lack of tactics was a bit disappointing. I'm going to sound like an old curmudgeon, but I found the kids distracting. (Ducks head.) But I do want the little guy that always rolled 12 to roll my dice.
11:17 "Let's ride the fools down. Should be saying that in a Welsh accent". No, should be saying it in Welsh (Cymreag)! "Dewch i ni reidio'r ffyliaid i lawr"

@@lochmoigh1 Locally there's no complete consensus. I say "Edge-coat". Others say "Edge-cot". Not unusual for Northamptonshire. The River Nene is pronounced both "Nen" and "Neen" depending on how far down river you are.
I so agree with this, and it always surprises me that my countrymen seem to often think that we sprang to life fully formed in 1776. For a personal example, I had an ancestor fall at Wakefield with Richard of York. The great pre-independence accomplishments, trials, and personages of English history are, as you said, just as much a part of our history.
Never ever roll dice against kids. You're just doomed. I have to say the one kid's well time counter-attack certainly changed the course of the battle.
Fantastic to see wargames displaying their true emotions after a glorious victory. Too many of us politely say good game mate, your dice really let you down when we actually wish to laugh in their face.
Is there such thing as online wargameing cus I really enjoy watching all of these but I wanted to play them and stuff but I don't exactly have space for a table don't have the money and I also don't wanna custom make stuff cus I have the attention spam of a I duno but you get the point and I'm also not good at stuff like that so I wanted somthing like what you do but online
