[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Sounds like a great game!
Viva Miramon!

[Leman]

Viva Mexico! A post-apocalyptic game in which a horde of Mexican zombies swarm in to what's left of the United Counties of America, a small enclave covering 2/3 of Vermont and 1/4 of Maine. No escape North, Canada having had the foresight to trump Trump's wall.

Glad we agree that building a southern wall is a good idea.

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - For King and Parliament

2) What armies were confronted? - Covenant/Parliament vs Royalists

3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Yes.

4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - No

5) How many players were in the game? - two

6) What went well? My opponent had great fun    I did manage to destroy two Royalist cavalry units, other than that not much 

7) What could have been improved? I could have drawn a few more chits numbered above 8.....they were definitely in the bucket. This was the debut game for my Scots Horse and they are apparently armed with damp powder and rubber swords. Most of the game they blasted away with their pistols as they closed for little result and in hand to hand combat they similarly just couldn't match the Royalist hits inflicted on them.

I will post a more detailed batrep if I get the chance in the next couple of days. Paul has plenty of photographic evidence of the number of 1's and 2's that I drew.

Thanks for a very enjoyable game Pierre

Your ability to find the 1s & 2s certainly helped the Royalist cause

The game was closer than Pierre suggests

I was about to lose control of most of my force, of my 8 units of Horse:

• 2 were lost
• 2 were about to gallop off in the direction of Whitchurch
• 1 was about to pursue through a hedge into Covenant cuirassiers, having already fired their pistols
• 1 was locked in an inconclusive melee with Cheshire Commanded Shot and was about to become blown
• 1 was already blown

[Shedman]

1 was already blown

I can think of worse things to happen

Will look forward to seeing the pics of the game, Peter and Paul! The Scottish horse lived up to the first-use curse. The trick with Scottish horse is to always fight other Scottish horse!

Pony Wars?

[d_Guy]

Indeed, shaggy pony wars.

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - Honours of War - somewhere in Western Germany 1758.

2) What armies were confronted? - 10mm French vs Allied Army of Observation.  French started with 5 battalions (1 superior), 1 light detachment (small, inferior), 3 cavalry regiments, a dragoon regiment (inferior) and an 8# battery defending a ridge and a village with another 2 battalions arriving during the game.  The Allies had 7 battalions (1 superior), 2 cavalry (superior) and 2 dragoon regiments and a 12# battery.

3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Broadly

4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - Yes

5) How many players were in the game? - solo

6) What went well?  Interesting combats and influence of different capabilities of brigadiers. Found out the benefit of superior cavalry!  MG Zastrow managed to roll well on most of his command rolls so his brigade stormed the village earlier than I was expecting.

7) What could have been improved? My understanding of the rules.  Not placing supporting lines of units in close proximity for the lead unit to retreat through (M Hamilton's brigade of Cavalerie suffered from this).
