Swedes Mark & Chris v. Imperialists Mike & Jim
The Empire is on the near side of the table. The Swedes are veterans & have a higher proportion of musketeers. The Empire's troops are regulars, but their pike, swordsmen & cavalry are more heavily armoured than the Swedes. The Swedes put most of their cavalry on their right & are advancing that flank. The Empire strengthened their right with their Landsknecht swordsmen brigade & are advancing on that flank.
On the far flank the outnumbered Imperial horse are so far holding on against the larger Swedish cavalry brigade. Left of centre, the Swedes are using their superior nos of musketeers to soften up the Imperial tercios. On the right, Imperial cavalry have ridden down the Swedish gunners but are contained
On the left the Imperial foot is attacking while the cavalry of both sides have regrouped. On the right one of the Imperial tercios has broken thru on the left of the cavalry.
On the near flank, the Swede's left has done well near the creek, but their left flank is crumbling & on the verge of breaking.
On the far flank it is the Empire that is hanging on desperately against superior nos of cavalry & shot.
On the far flank, the Imperial cavalry has been broken & the Imperial Infantry on the verge of doing so. But on the near flank, the hedgehog on the Swede's flank has been surrounded by Landsknechts & is broken. With it, the whole Swedish left wing is below half strength & breaks giving the Empire victory.
