With the Saxon right wing also under severe pressure and their cavalry scattered saw the Saxon left wing detach 6 squadrons to try and support it.
At this point the Saxons had managed to shore up both of their threatened wings. The Swedish infantry were also looking very worn due to their exertions. At this point we called it a day. Neither side was in any position to force a result without a risk to losing their army.
I was happy with how the rules held up for their first major engagement. Mick in particular found they had reflected the fighting style of the Swedes. I need to make some minor adjustments to cavalry against pike armed infantry as this was one area which just didn't feel quite right.
Great report and photos Neil! Looks awesome seeing all the troops out doing their thing.

DeleteFantastic report!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal
DeleteCracking finish to proceedings!
ReplyDeleteJust a shame I lost
DeleteEntertaining battle report Neil! It says something for the rules that the Saxons were able to come back a scrap a draw from a bad start. Are you using house rules?
ReplyDeleteThey are house rules devised to fight on hexes
DeleteHexs or squares I think that's the way forward for horse and musket. People creeping their foot 5mm forward to protect their guns spoil it a bit for me.
ReplyDeleteGreat report Scotty, a good time had by all.
