Thanks! Working my way through a few "distractions" on the painting shelf before I go back to more Whigs...

Thanks! Yes, they're lovely old models. I've got a few more dogs of war and old empire models I need to get painted up in a similar style

Thanks!

Oh, lovely! Nicely done, and a very handy bit of terrain to have! (I need to get round to making some emplacements at some point)

Sorry about that, important dispatches from the front, clearly!
Looking good!

As ever, apparently on review there were quite a few spelling and grammatical mistakes in the heat of battle! Hopefully it all makes sense!

They're actually rather minor, but hopefully provide a bit of flavour. The only other change not on here is that we changed to turn order - initiative, shooting, orders, combat.
We may change a few things going forward once we've had a few more games!

Thanks!

Thanks to my opponent @kahteh.bsky.social for a lively evening. I didn't expect things to disintegrate quite so quickly for Feversham's forces, but the Whigs got a lot of lucky disorders in the last few turns, meaning the fighting withdraw became a rout.

Monmouth graciously takes the Foot Guards' surrender. Today has been a great success for the Whigs. The road to London lies open, and the Government field army lies shattered. Will James II be replaced, by (slightly confusingly) another James II? Only time will tell...

While a few Government regiments have managed to withdraw, the army is severely depleted, and withdraws, covered by the 1st Foot Guards...

Further disaster! The Royal Scots break under volleys of musket fire from the Yellow Regiment!

Churchill manages to withdraw the dragoons, and, re-mounted, they cover the artillery so it can retreat. But what about the foot?

Volleys from the Whig line disorder the retreating Government forces - will they be able to get away at all, or has it all gone rather pear shaped?

A volley from the Green Regiment disintegrates the disordered Blues, and they flee the field!

Given there has been little damage to the Whig line, Feversham decides it is best to withdraw his army while it still has some strength. It is pointless to press the attack today, against such strong opposition. The Government artillery start to limber up with the wagon train

To add further injury to the Government forces, the Grenadiers finally break and are run down. Kirke's brigade is now broken, having lost 2/3s of its strength.

... (with picture! - it's all happening and I'm clearly to excited to report accurately!)
