Interesting question which I delved into as well having the Western Miniatures Bosworth set. 


There appears to be a dearth of publications in this area from the major publishers but, there is quite a bit from small publishers and a few internet sites - great but, difficult to know exactly what you are getting - the Lance and Longbow Society site for example has a large number - https://www.lanceandlongbow.com/shopPublications.php (https://www.lanceandlongbow.com/shopPublications.php)


Good luck and I am curious about the response to this as well.

I do not have this book from Peter Dennis.

These are Papersoldiers for copy and print.


The papers are designend for 28 mm figures.


I have other books from him like Castle Assault (for me very interesting - did build Balista and so on)
European Houses, 1066 and Spanish War of Sucssession. The Medival book and the SWS have excellent colours.


He also did have a website https://peterspaperboys.com/ (https://peterspaperboys.com/) maybe interest.
