Give me a chance to contact my bookmaker, to check the odds.  ;)
I'll see if there's anything strange being quoted.

'nutha Royalist victory yesterday. It's time I had a winning streak.

The Ironsides of the Eastern Association horse rapidly got the better of Lord Byron's horse; Lee's learned the value of deeper units of cavalry.

 The close-up shows one of the infantry engagements in the centre. Brummage's regiment (green) outshooting Mason's (red). One of three such contests, all favouring King Charles, as was right and proper. My shooting dice were far better this time.

An impetuous advance cost me Hopton and musch of his regiment, but Rupert led the Lifeguard, with support from Newcastle's Whitecoats, to destroy the Lobsters, capture Fairfax, and win the battle. Just as well the Roundhead morale broke when it did; my left was about to discover what Cromwell and his Ironsides could do to a turned flank.

Nice looking game Kitty  8)

In ECW games I have played the Royalists always seem to either win spectacularly or else fold disasterously.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

FierceKitty

Mmm, likewise. And the decisive stroke is always given by the victorious cavalry. Accurate enough, as I recall.

Obviously they were drunk, so hardly surprising.....musch of his regiment, indeed (Shome mishtake shooorly.)  ;)
As Peter said....Nice looking game.  :)

I think musch was a bit of lah-di-dah Cavalier affectation. Musch have been.

Congrats. Pity you didn't have a slightly better camera, Kitty (unless it's my computer? but I don't think so) because these look like a whole bunch of well-painted minis.   :-bd
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

FierceKitty

You're kind; but maybe my minis look better when photographs are a bit fuzzy!
