Don Byklos Follows Through

[Phil Robinson]

More First Carlist War shenanigans.Following his stunning victory at the Rawnla valley, Don Byklos is keen to maintain the initiative and so pursues the Carlist general Don Fillipe with a view to engage his now depleted force again before he can be reinforced by fresh volunteer battalions.
So the scene is set for our latest game here in OHQ, the game would be played out using the Black Powder rule set with movement and ranges reduced to 66%.
The forces of Don Byklos comprise of two brigades
Brigade 1. Three infantry battalions all with the First Fire and the Must Form Square rule.
                 One line cavalry regiment with the Lancers rule
                 One horse artillery battery with the Marauder rule.
Brigade 2. Two British Auxiliary Legion battalions all with the First Fire and the Must Form Square rule.
                 One unit of attached skirmisher, small unit, skirmishers rule.
                 One Royal Marine Rocket Battery
 The forces of Don Fillipe Hijoderobin comprise of one brigade on the table, a further brigade of newly raised recruits is expected to arrive asap
On table;  Three infantry battalions, all with the First Fire and Must Form Square rule and one with the
                 addition of the Elite rule, in this case 4+
                 One line cavalry regiment with the Lancers rule.
                 One foot artillery battery
To arrive:   Two newly raised volunteer battalions both with the unreliable rule
                  One unit of attached skirmisher, small unit, skirmishers rule

I love ( ) that range of miniatures and until I moved to the Durham club I really has no impetus to buy any. Now that I'm in the same club as the author of The First Carlist War 1833-1840, Conrad Cairns i really ought to have no excuse but to indulge! However, I think it might have to wait a while as I've got my nose buried deep in the NWF and the Sudan at present, not to mention the HYW (but that will always be ongoing).

Brill stuff.... about to read your blog entry now!

Loved the pics and the AAR.

Struggling to stay way from the Carlist Wars, only managing because of Ged's Garibaldini!

Super looking figures and terrain.
Don Byklos has the guys on the run.
So which side do I root for?

Thanks chaps, have some BAL rifles and Navarre guides on the paint table. The Carlists will be back and fighting soon.

Hasta la Vista, baby.
