The Loose Association of Wargamers

2019's project for our little group was the ECW. The "year" culminates in a 2 day game at the local Hobby & Train Show - we've been doing this for 13 years now.

We elected to do a "what if" battle: The Battle of Auchtentoshan which featured Montrose's Scots and the army of the Covenant....with some Royalist & Parliamentarian armies thrown in.

Some photos:
Overview

Some of the numerous & largely useless Covenant artillery:

Montrose's rabble (you can tell whose side I was on)

The Covenanters, hedging their bets

I was actually winning till the Sassenachs turned up

Scots Horse looks lovely but essentially only good for running away

Montrose's Foot just before I routed them!

Essentially, it was the Royalist Horse that won the game

Game's end, the Good Guys in retreat, everywhere

Looking good! The research has paid off nicely.

Very tidy

Lovely table.

excellent looking game
What rules Donald?

Field of Glory: Renaissance, I believe - lovely armies, Donald.

Spectacular, those chaps in the foreground of photo 3 loo as though they are potting pheasants.

Yes, FoG;r.

Many of the figures are Tumbling Dice with the remainder being plastic.

Losing the game certainly wasn't an issue (I'm used to that) but I lost the distillery at Auchtentoshan. All that lovely single malt carted back to England.

By people who will not really appreciate it.

Great looking game. Nice use of the fur as well
