Retinue Per Wikipedia: A retinue (Old French retenue, from retenir also meaning 'to employ', from Latin retenere, hold back, retain) is a body of persons "retained" in the service of a noble or royal personage, a suite (literal French meanings: what follows) of "retainers." A Retinue is sometimes confused with an entourage, which is the far less stable body of people that followed whether or not they were -or claimed to be- retained or protected by the prominent person they served. This game, albiet about knights fighting knights, recreates the true method of travel for a knight during the Middle Ages; Never alone! This skirmish rule set of 42 pages and 2 pull out charts moves from a simple Retinue moving and meeting a group of bandits to Siege warfare. Suitable for a campaign game and weekend warriors, and provides some historical insight on the middle ages (A Knight's Tale" not withstanding)
