York: Jim &PeterW. Lancs: Chris & SteveD.
With Cancon BA duties complete & time to spare before going home we introduced Spear & Sword Action to our Canberra host SteveD, & PeterW.
The pics are taken from behind the Lanc's lines. The lancs depoyed in a tight bunch between woods & hills with their cavalry in reserve. The Yorks in an extended line with their cavalry on their right. The intial moves saw the York's cavalry advance towards the Lanc's left flank while the Lanc's split their cavalry towards each flank.
AS their cavlry approached the enemy left, the main York army advanced as the Lancs partially redployed in their defensive position.
The Lancs are holdng up the York cavalry on the left, but the York's soearmen have punched a hole thru the Lancs right of centre.
Lancs counterattacks on their right, their & left centre have had some success.
Lancs spearmen have also had some success in the cntre, but Yorks spear have smashed the Lancs cavalry with a flank attack & the Lanc's counterattack has run out of steam. It is a win for York.
It was very useful having a battle with rules under development with exerienced wargamers not in the Cam Comwell groove. They looked at it witha fresh perspective & gave me a number of great suggestions for further improvement.
