Smarting from his reverse at Roserran in the Vale (Tin Soldiering On: The Bloodye Affraye at Roserran in the Vale (Parte The Second 'the actione growes hotte') (tonystoysoldiers.blogspot.com) Colonele Danby has reformed his forces and set off to level the Royalist fortifications near Loxley Barrett (Tin Soldiering On: 'The Greate Sconce' of Loxley Barrett . (tonystoysoldiers.blogspot.com) , unfortunately the enemy have been warned by a spy and he is met by an opposing force sitting across his route of marche .
The Royalist force is commanded by Captaine Nigel Pargetter ( Sir Brianne Alderidge being 'indisposed ?) - his first independent commande ! .
Colonele Danby deployes his force - the Musketeers and Pike in the centre , the Gunne and crew on the ridge and two units of Dragoones on the right .
The Royalist force likewise has deployed the Pike and Shoote in the centre , Pargetters Troope of Horse on the right and on the left a Troope of Horse sent by the Kinge from Oxforde to reinforce his influence in Borsetshire .
The Actione starts withe the Dragoones moving forward on the right as the Royalist Horse advances on both flanks .(please ignore the dice tray intruding on the scene )
The Royalist Horse continues it's advance as the Dragoones continue their flank movement . The game is being played using 'Pikeman's Lament' rules and an update will follow soon .....
Dice tray? In this scale it a duck pond! Lovely set up.

DeleteThis is a much bigger game than the last, it will be interesting to see how well the rules cope.
