| There may be trouble ahead..... |
France 1640, the Duke of Buckingham has landed in France to aid the Huguenots. Cardinal Richelieu has been given the bad news & immediately marches to face the old enemy.
MrF is back, with some gaming in the Pike & Shot era. We have tidied up the 15-19K site, & we will be playing games in the future. We will keep DBA 3.0 painted armies to the MrOhh site. Though we haven't got around to a 3.0 game yet....
DBA-Hx action, with English Royalist versus Ze French. The English Army selected is very 'Knight' heavy, lots of Cavaliers charging home. Infantry to back up the Horsemen are 3 Pike & 3 Shot, with one Artillery piece. The French Army is stacked slightly different. Pistols form the spine, with an element of Cavalry & Dragoons. 8 elements of Foot, 3 Shot & 4 Pike with one Artillery.
The French Army has it's horse stacked on the right. The English have split the Horse to both wings.
English Royalist 1620-1660.
1x3Kn, 3x3Kn, 1x3Kn, 1x4Sh, 3x4Pk, 2x4Sh, 1xArt.
French 1600-1640.
2x4Pi, 1x3Cv, 1x3Dr, 3x4Sh, 4x4Pk, 1xArt.

| The Battlefield, the French being the attackers. |
 |
| English Horse advance |
 |
| The Cardinal leads the attack himself |
 |
| Oh you little teasers... |
 |
| English Pike & Shot advance |
 |
| The French Dragoons are caught out |
 |
| Whoops, they were pants. The curse of the Dragoons... |
 |
| The French have an advantage, but they could not make it count. |
 |
| Just a Recoil. |
 |
| English PiPs are poor, but the spare English Horse engages... |
 |
| Two down, the French right flank is not looking good. |
 |
| The rest of the French Army engages, but with poor results. |
 |
| Good English PiPs & the French Right is surrounded. |
 |
| The Kings 'Grey Musketeers' are destroyed.... The Cardinal is lucky to escape. |
 |
| Drastic action is needed to steady the French right. The Artillery is removed. |
 |
| Too late, the English PiPs are again good & Victory is near. |
 |
| Game Over, complete victory for the Duke of Buckingham.... |
Well were did that one go wrong. A good plan for the French, they had the advantage with the extra Horse on the right, but they were thrown away. The curse of the single Dragoon element strikes again.
 |
| Remnants of the Musketeers flee the field... 'All for one & one for themselves'... |
