Did you manage to get any lists for 100 yrs war because I'm trying to build a English army up

A good start for you would be a crap ton of archers (longbow) and a decent mixture of dismounted men-at-arms and knights. The English were not keen on fighting on horseback. One of the few periods in history I will side with the French simply because I like cavalry and unlike the French commanders at Agincourt I never send my cavalry through a muddy field at a narrow defile defended by stakes and longbows.

A slightly later period of course, but there is a War of the Roses army list Excel spreadsheet in the Files section of the Hail Caesar group on Yahoo: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/HailCaesarRules/

You will need to sign in to the group in order to access the file.

Cheers,

I have a PDF WOTR Army list if you want, this deals with longbowmen.

I made them Drilled (able to switch with the billmen/MaA in the same retinue as a charge reaction), and Marksmen (re-roll one missed dice), and added the option of using an Arrow storm special rule once per game (all your archers in a division fire together for double dice). I also gave retinue bowmen 4 dice on long range. This does make the archers pretty formidable, but to be fair, they were.

I have play tested this a couple of times and I like the feel of it for WotR, but both armies had the same benefits, so it remained balanced, for HYW you might want to reduce your retinue archers to 3 dice, and perhaps see how it goes with using the arrow storm rule.

I didn't write anything for spikes, but you could perhaps treat them as a difficult terrain obstacle, and add some penalties for charging them on horseback?

If you PM me your email address I can send you the PDF I have.
