Men of Iron Battles Tri-Pack
Return to the battlefields of medieval Europe and the Crusades with this expanded collection from the acclaimed Men of Iron series. Bringing together the first three volumes — Men of Iron, Infidel, and Blood & Roses — this edition also includes the Battle of Agincourt from C3i #22, making it a comprehensive entry point into the system.
Each volume explores a distinct era of warfare. Men of Iron charts the rise of infantry and the devastating effectiveness of the longbow during the early 14th century, culminating in iconic clashes such as Agincourt. Infidel shifts to the Crusades, where heavily armoured European cavalry collide with the speed and precision of Eastern mounted archers. Blood & Roses captures the brutal, close-quarters struggles of the Wars of the Roses, where heavily armoured troops, early gunpowder weapons, and fierce infantry engagements defined the conflict.
Designed for accessibility without sacrificing depth, the system features streamlined rules, continuous play (with no rigid turns), and combat resolved with a single die roll. Battles typically play out in 1–3 hours, making it easy to explore multiple scenarios in a single sitting. Updated battle books include errata, improved colour setups, and selected scenario refinements.
Whether played head-to-head or solo, Men of Iron offers a clear and engaging way to understand how these historic battles unfolded — and why they were won or lost. With a wide variety of units, from longbowmen and knights to pike infantry and early artillery, every battle presents a fresh tactical challenge.
