The Sides

Two unequal forces of  Parliament vs Scottish Royalists Scots  musket heavy, no horse plus a rabble, medium gun Parliament a few horse majority regular  pikes and a few shot.

Comments

1) Musket blocks fairly effective.

2) The Scots only got to fire twice before being out of shot. The parliamentary army fired 4 times.

3) Small units very fragile and liable to take half the rest of the army with them when they run away.

4) Half the battle was units  running away and coming back.

5) You can fight with 2 1000 point 15mm armies on two 2ft boards.We used cms rather than inches and all seemed to work

6) Most of figures based in threes but slightly fiddly to move. Movement bases/trays would be useful.

However we could work out the following ;

1) How does artillery work ?. We played it as roll to hit all units in fire corridor.

2 ) What allows a unit to counter charge, what  criteria ?

3 ) How often does artillery  fire ? we played it every other round.

4 ) In this game what does reload actually mean ?. Is this a round without shooting or do you need to go off and get resupply from baggage. If so time to get an ammo wagon.

Conclusion

Well this was a fun game, ideal for any players familiar with GW systems .
