Aberdeen Wargames Club will be displaying the following game at Claymore 2026.
The Crossing of Devils Water 1464.
A Wars of the Roses what if scenario for Hail Caesar in 28mm.

Background
In the aftermath of The Battle of Hedgeley Moor, the Lancastrian cause in the north hangs by a thread. A force under the Percy affinity, Exeter, Hungerford and Roos has withdrawn toward Devil’s Water, carrying with it treasury wagons, artillery stores, noble baggage and politically sensitive papers connected to the remaining Lancastrian leadership.
The Yorkists have moved faster than expected. Scrope and Bouchier press from the south, while a Neville force under Fauconberg works around the Lancastrian right flank. A further Yorkist reserve follows behind the main advance, threatening to turn a fighting withdrawal into a rout.
The Lancastrians have not deployed for a deliberate battle. They have been caught while their camp is still being packed.
Their task is simple, but difficult: hold the ridge, keep the crossings open, and get the baggage across Devil’s Water before the Yorkists close the trap.

Terrain
Devil’s Water runs broadly along the northern third of the table. It sits behind the Lancastrian position, creating pressure on the withdrawing army.
There are two crossings.
Linnels Bridge is on the Lancastrian left. This is the safer crossing, but narrow.
The Rough Ford is on the Lancastrian right. This is less congested, but difficult and unreliable.
A low ridge runs across the centre of the table. The Lancastrian main battle begins on or just behind this ridge. The central camp and baggage park sits behind the ridge, roughly midway between the bridge and the ford.
The Yorkist main force enters from the south. Fauconberg/Neville enters from the eastern edge, threatening the Lancastrian left and the Rough Ford.

How will it play out?
Only time will tell. No plan survives first contact with the enemy.
As always we will be showing well presented armies and terrain.
If you are attending Claymore please stop by and say hello. And wishing everyone a great event.
