It was Cynfarchwyn's turn to indulge in a bit of regime change as he sought to usurp his aging uncle Dai 'the death' Cadwallader. Cynfarchwyn had Dai bottled up in a small village with a blocking force in place as his main force came forward to settle matters and help Dai choose a retirement plan, one that involved six feet of earth and placed the crown on Cynfarchwyn's head.
Cynfarchwyn had ordered his Combrogi to challenge Dai's boys whilst he performed his Hornsof the Buffalo envelopment of the village.
The Combrogi sold their lives dearly and delayed Dai sufficiently to keep him from fleeing the field with his boys whilst his fabeled Tiern saw off Dai's rear guard in the village and his skirmishers drove off Dai's skirmishers.
Unfortunately the Tien got tangled up in the village and the skirmishers ended up on the far side of the ville from Dai's remaining two units.
No worry though there was always another unit of Combrogi ( mounted) to throw into the meat grinder. You're kind of getting the idea of how Cynfarchwyn fights his battles.
The Combrogi were defeated and run down by Dai who was now feeling somewhat invigorated.
And so it ended up Dai's now thinned out boys were facing Cynfarchwyn and his cavalry. Dai charged. This was Cynfarchwyn's chance to go mano a mano and snatch the crown from Dai in a kingly manner.
Did that transpire? Sadly no. Cynfarchwyn had learned some fancy horsemanship and feigned flight.
After suffering hails of javelins Dai charged again. Surely this was Cynfarchwyn's moment of glory? No it was time for more trick ponery and he feign flighted again.
All the while hus skirmishers and been gaining ground and pelting Dai's unit with sling shot and after the Tiern and another unit of Combrogi joined in with their javelins Dai was standing alone with his standard bearer.At this point, with the skies dark with slings and javelins Dai fled the field as a fugitive with Cynfarchwyn now needs to hunt him down to claim the crown, the chance for wresting the crown from his uncle in a kingly manner having been lost under
skies full of missiles and somefancy horse riding.
