Thanks Richard for the photography and posting this up and of course for the game. Thanks to Matakishi for hosting us.    :)

I should also mention that there a couple of Jimbibbly's buildings in there as well plus some of Richard's hedges, while we both made changes to improve the rules as we went along.

The game took about 4-5 hours of leisurely play with, I think, four decisive events:

1) My slow deployment as my mobs threaded their way through the village and ponds

2) Richard's heavy cavalry slamming across the ford with these six heroic MAA fighting on a narrow front to bring my biggest unit to a standstill with one of it's flanks then diminished by cannon fire

3) My pikemen who held the bridge succombing to arrows and bolts

4) My failed attempt to take out Richard's commander, which resulted in the death of my knight and the breaking of his warband

Well done Richard  :D.  (Harrumph!  :'( ;). )

Thanks David. That's almost a proper wargame, isn't it?  ;)
Well, not quite, but its as close as many do get, I acknowledge that!
It does you both credit, all aspects of the game are really good! Now, you just need a couple of hundred more figures!!!!!! :D

Now that's what I call a beautifully set up game.

Fab painting, marvelous terrain and a good old blast of blood and guts to boot! Can't beat it!!

Most excellent Richard and Silent Invader!

"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
