Mark's Empire v. Jim's Swedes.
A small battle to fine tune the latest developments in our house rules.The Empire are on the left. The forces have equal numbers & quality of troops, the only difference is that the Empire's pike & shot units were twice as big & half as many. Both sides advanced on their left. The Swedes also advanced their centre.On both flanks the attackers are doing best even though attacking uphill. In both cases the attackers had some infantry support & also better dice. On the flanks both side's rights are collapsing. In the centre the Empire's bugger formations are winning out over the Swede's smaller ones. The Empire have some artillery support & the Swede's haven't been able to extract any advantage out of their extra numbers of units.Both side have won on their left flanks. The Empire's left is moving towards the centre. The Swedes have already charged the end tercio with cavalry as their battered infantry try to hang on.The tercio attacked by cavalry after already receiving high casualties from the Swedish infantry has broken. But tit is too little too late for the Swedish foot as their right has been overlapped & broken by Imperialist foot & artillery & the first of the Empire's cavalry from the far flank is in their rear. The Swedes fail their army morale test & the Empire has won.
