The Greate Civile Warre Campaign - The Battle on the Black Moore .

 

So 'S' came round for our first ECW game . I deployed first , my force was 2 Trained Foote , 2 Raw Horse and one Veteran Horse . Simon drew cards that gave him 2 Trained Foote, 1 Raw Foote, 1 Veteran Foote (The King's Lifeguard ?) , but all his 3 units of Horse were Raw !.

My deployment , I was feeling somewhat intimidated being out numbered by his Foote.

'S's line up, he was bothered by the fact that his Horse was poor .

He advanced boldly and both sides started a firefight , I advanced my Horse on my left to counter his.

'S' put King Charles at the head of one of his Squadrons of Horse and charged mine - broke it and caused another unit of Horse to rout and he pursued both off the table ! 

My Lord Fairfax charge a unit of Royalist Horse and beat it but my Foote now unsupported on their left and out flanked were rolled up and fled ! . Fairfax left the field with his Regiment of Horse just as the King returned from the pursuit to find his enemies had fled ! , a glorious victory for the Royalist cause and he could continue his march . Fairfax retired to try and gather his scattered Army and fight again. A rather quick game but the rules worked well and we are both looking forwars to the next one .
