A castle on the Welsh

Locating Royal Heirs
The All-Britain Map shows the
starting locations of the Royal Heirs-
white dots for the Yorkists, pink dots
for the Lancastrians. You’ll see the
Yorkist Rutland in Ireland, and two
Lancastrians in the Midlands-Prince
Edward and Margaret of Anjou.
As discussed above, if one of your
Nobles starts the game close to a Royal
Heir, you may wish to ensure he has
sufficient strength to capture the Heir
at the beginning of the game. For
Clarence, just 10 men can do it; for
Prince Edward, you need at least 200
to overcome the garrison at Kenil-
worth. You can ‘tour’ these locations
using the Review button (see page 23).
Allocating Assets
Having selected a Noble, scroll
through-the list of your Faction’s
Assets (or select white locations on the
map which are close to your Noble’s
castles). Click on an Asset; it is high-
lighted and any places on the map
associated with that Asset start flash-
ing. You can select further Assets in
the same fashion. When you have
selected the Assets you wish to allocate
to that Noble, click on the Combine
button.
The list automatically reconfigures
so that the Assets you have allocated to
a Noble are listed directly under his
name. Do the same for the other Nobles
in your Faction. If you make a mistake,
or you’re unhappy with the way your
forces are allocated, you can click on a
Noble and the Disperse button to
break up that grouping.
