Craig was introduced to Pikemans lament with a 24point battle against Aggresive Dave.
Craig selected a couple of galloper units, two units of shot and some forlorn hope. Led by the "foreign" Mungo McGregor.
Breaking military conventions Craig deployed his infantry on the flanks and cavalry in the centre.
In typical fashion Dave took several units of aggresive galloper units, supported by pike, shot and trotters. In a remarkable turn of events Dave fielded his own painted cavalry!!!
Dave was the attacker and advanced in an aggresive manner. Craig moved his shot and forlorn up to engage whilst his cavalry moved to support Mungo from Dave's wave of gallopers.
After several turns of posturing and some excellent shooting by Craig, Dave's wild charging cavalry managed to whittle down Craig's cavalry and scared Mungo off!! Unscathed for once.
On the other flank the forlorn hope and pike clashed in a couple of turns of bloody combat, but in the end Dave's unit of shot managed to see Craig off.
It should be noted that Craig has now lost two games against Dave......maybe a reminder of the club rules need to be applied!!!!
