On the left the Royalists are commanded by Mark & Steve.
On the right the Parliamentarians are comanded by Chris & Mike.
Parliament made a map of their deployment, the Royalists deployed on table, then parliament deployed to their map. Both sides have 2 infantry brigades of 3 units & 2 cavalry briagades of 4 units. The Royalists had bigger pike blocks & 3 guns, balanced parliament having 2 musketeer units & half their cavalry being heavy.
Both sides advanced their right flanks.
The Parliment's cavalry have charged the guns in the cntre, riding them down & then countercharged by Cavaliers.
When Royalist musketeers wrapped around the roundhead cavalry's right flank, roundhead cavalry from the 2nd brigade charged their flank, but they managed to get themselves broken with a failure to find any 4+'s in 10 dice. The cavalry fight in the centre is stil indecisive.On the far flank the Royalist foot is advancing cautiously in the face of roundhead horse. The near flank has become an exchange of shot.
The cavalry fight has become mutual destruction. The Royalist left continues it steady advance but their right is getting the worst of the firefight.
The Royalist right has so many units verging on breaking thay have begun a retreat as parliament attacks though the orchard.
On the near flank the Royalists comintiue to withdraw. On the other flank the Royalist attack across the cornfield has been defeated & is about to break relieving the pressure on the Parliamnt's right.
At this stage it was agreed that parliament had won, but the Royalists could cover their retreat with their cavalry.
