Covernanters: Mike & Chris

The Scots are on the far side. The Englisg are attacking in echelon leading with their cavalry on their left.
The charge of the leading English cavalry brigade was shattered in a hail of 1's & 2's, but they had a second cavalry brigade to renew the attack. In the centre the English have met the highlanders.
The 2nd English cavalry brigade is now gaining the pper hand. An infantry fight rages in the central wooded hill. Cavalry from both sides advance on each other in the centre. On the far flank both sides are cautiously advancing.
Fighting rages all along the front.
The Scots cavalry is now broken on the near flank as casualties mount all along the line with no decisive results.
The English cavalry on the left seem content to rest on their laurels as English pikes over-run the guns & their suporting pikes beside the farmhouse. The Scots have gained the upper hand in the central wood. The cavalry in the centre have bashed each other to a standstill. The far flank is still indecisive.
The Scots right is now under pressure now the English cavalry have finally moved to support their infantry, but the English centre is a mess & the far flank still not looking like a result. With nightfall approaching the players agreed to a draw.
The English plan of breaking the Scots right with their superior cavalry & rolling up their line was thwarted by the cavalry taking too long to wipe out the Scots cavalry & to move right, plus the good performance of the highlanders in the centre.
