The Loose Association of Wargamers

Our group is working hard to prepare for our demo Show game in July. After tweaking the rules ('Victory without Quarter') to better suit big battles, we're going to have a manageable practice game tomorrow. I've decided to ref the game & I've set up parts of my two armies for a fictional battle.
The forces of the English crown under King Charles, face a Covenanter army under Archibald Campbell, latterly Duke of Argyll.

The battlefield:

Seizing & holding the ford will be the objective.


Dunoon Fort has been besieged by the Sassenachs (English)

The English royalists:

"Galloper" cavalry is King Charles' elite.


A battaglia of solid P&S regiments


Another battaglia but this time including dragoons & commanded shot

The Covenanters:

A battaglia of I suspect indifferent mounted troops


Levin's elite _ Scots lancers & cuirassiers.


A mixed command of Forlorn Hope, Scots' Highlanders & Dragoons


Doughty Covenanter Pike & shot regiments.

Game over.
The Covenanters consolidated their left flank with their P&S regiments that rebuffed every English attack:


The English Royalists tried an audacious concentration of their Horse that attempted to whip around the Scottish right flank. A move deserving of the brave prince who led it - Rupert.


Tenacious Covenanter defence not only held off the English but routed several vaunted Cavalier units & killing Prince Rupert. Puddle, his dog, survived.

The tweaked rules worked, the gang played well & confidently & fun was had.

Now that's one sort of hard work I wouldn't moan about, Donald. Looks like a good game.

Note to self- NO ECW! NO ECW! NO ECW! Finish what you have, Stupid!

A labour of love.And the game was a cracker.

Sounds like job done!

Fantastic looking game, thanks for sharing Donald.

Does non-WW1/WW2 20mm automatically qualify as "old school"?

Beautiful!

No. I think "weird" covers it.
