Another nice looking game and a win to boot!

The Parliamentary left wing. Constricted frontage was a boon, given the Royalist cavalry advantage, and Lee rashly let Tarrington's regt of horse ride down her dragoons in the open and thereafter serve as a steady threat to her flanks while Hesselrig's cuirassiers and some good infantry earned their pay. It wasn't her fault that her own supporting foot lagged behind.

In the centre my bad luck started to build up; whenever things were strongly in my favour, the dice nobbled me. My losses were out of all proportion.

Bad dice on my right too, but my cavalry tactics were superior (even though Lee had ridiculous luck going sword in hand against pikes!). My one lucky break was that towrds the end a lucky roundshot carried off Rupert, which gave me the battle.

Lee's pictures will doubtless follow.

Well done on the win despite the die Gods not being on your side. So poor Crown Prinz Ruprecht is dead?
