The new Columbia blockgame Richard III has got me interested in the Wars of the Roses. I'm reading The Wars of the Roses: Politics and the Constitution in England, c.1437-1509 by Christine Carpenter, but it's a bit of a dissapointment. Has any of you suggestions for further reading?

Have a look at my tag "wars of the roses"

I'd recommend Lancaster and York: Wars of the Roses as a good overview
The Wars of the Roses: Military Activity and English Society and The Military Campaigns of the Wars of the Roses from a military point of view.
Specifically on Richard III
Richard III and His Rivals: Magnates and Their Motives in the Wars of the Roses and Richard III and Buckingham's Rebellion

I've just started Warwick the Kingmaker by Paul Murray Kendall, also because I bought the boardgame Richard III. And I want to keep up with my usual gaming partner. Can't tell you much about it yet, but a well informed Wars of the Roses mother recommended this book te me.

That's an interesting collection of books on the wars of the Roses, Donogh. I think Lancaster and York: Wars of the Roses is the kind of general overview I'm looking for. Thanks.
Have you played the game yourself?

Haven't played it. Is it a remapping of Hammer of the Scots or are there significant changes?

The basic mechanisms are the same, but the changes in comparison to HotS are significant enough to make it more than just a remapping. The game is more brutal, I think, than its predecessor, less strategic maybe (supply is only a minor worry for example) , and playing time is shorter (+/- 2 hours when played at a reasonable speed).
