Mind your manor ....

Two retinues about to clash - a little tussle over the ownership of the manorial estate of Doffwitz.

Hearing that Count Theobald was going to take position of the manor by force, Count Alaric gathered his retinue and reached the manor at Doffwitz; Count Theobald was not far away with his retinue moving towards the village.

Count Alaric and his retinue reach the manor ...

The village of Doffwitz....

Count Theobald and his retinue are crossing the river and also moving towards the village ....

Count Alaric sends his archers & slingers round the flanks and some lightly armed men down the road to the village...

Count Theobald's men reach the edge of the village ...

Count Alaric's men move into position ...

Count Theobald's men move into the village down the road and round to the left of the village...

The two sides clash on the road through the village

while Count Theobald's men move round the outskirts of the village

while the fight continues on the road ...

Count Theobald's men have crossed the hedge line, but some of Count Alaric's better armed men await them ...

The fighting on the road intensifies ...

Count Theobald's men rush forward trying to turn the flank....

but their advance is checked ....

Count Alaric's men have gained a slight advantage in the contest on the road

With the two Count Theobald's knights leading the attack down, plus a couple of others, the flank attack breaks up and remainder fall back .... 

Count Alaric's men win the fight for the road....

Count Theobald and remains of retinue beat a hasty retreat....

Count Alaric has asserted his control of the manor and demesne of Doffwitz.

Second retinue finished ...

 Completed the figures for the second retinue; numbers topped up with feudal level for archers and skirmishers...

have enough for a game now ... hhm what scenario ? something to ponder on.

Started on an another retinue and a Knight

 Some 40mm 3d prints painted (about 10 more to do)...

A Knight on foot and on horse; helmet for foot figure is removable. These will represent Johann de Thedmers..

Civilians ...

 Two peasants and a couple of monks (3D prints)..

A few additions ..

Some 3D printed chaps, to use as part of feudal levy/outlaws as needed

Two Peipp Miniaturen knights..

King, Knights and porters...

Knights' porters..(WIP)

 Made up some porters to carry Knights' kit on hilly/wooded terrain - perhaps on a questing expedition to the Sackwald forest....

(split coconuts stowed out of site, although perhaps used on open ground for that horse riding feel😀 )
