Hi allhere are some pictures from out first battle.A small engagement where the Sir John 'Urry met the Marquis of Montrose at Aldearn.We were using Black Powder as the rules set , great fun , fast play and easy to pick up.So fast , we got two games in.
"On 8 May, Montrose's army of around 2,000 men made camp at the village of Auldearn near Nairn. Major-General Hurry, with 3,500 Covenanter infantry and 400 horse, made a rapid night march in damp and misty conditions hoping to catch Montrose in a surprise dawn attack on 9 May. It was fortunate for Montrose that Hurry's soldiers fired their muskets to clear damp powder, thus giving warning of their approach. "
This was the first skimish which did not go well for Sir John
This is the counter attack (2nd game) which went rather well for Urry.
