Pikeman's Lament, Scots Covenanters v Parliament

  • AAR by Bryan Bowdell


    The Scottish clansmen of clan Mcgregor clearly flashed their " weapons" at my cavalry , causing a unit to flee straight off the board before turn 1!

    This set the scene for the game.


    My cannons faced off with the Scottish pikemen, clearly equipped with damp powder....hitting nothing.

    On the right flank the clansmen ambushed my leader's shot. Wounded "Jean Paul Le Pew" - a French mercenary - he received a dashing scar to show the ladies.

    In the left both my cavalry and Dave's Scottish horse flashed their swords but did little else until some more kilted Scott's ambushed my cavalry.


    Dave and clan Mcgregor claimed victory!!!
