Just back from an 8 day bushwalk I was too bushed to set up something new, so recycled Empire v. Dutch again. PeterW was visiting from Canberra.
Empire: Mike & Chris.
Dutch: Jim, Renfrey & PeterW
The Empire are on the far side. Cavaltry on both flanks, P&S in the centre, musketeers in the woods with Landasscneckts behind.
The Dutch concentrated their horse on their right, P&S in the centre with musketeers on both flanks of the P&S.
The Dutch advanced in the centre to reach the ridgeline first.
The Empire charged up the ridge in the centre while the Dutch cavalry attacked on their right flank.
Both attacks lead to wins & losses on bith sides with the winners to knackered to exploit a breakthru.
On the right, the Dutch cavalry fell back & the Empire's horse was disinclined to follow up.
In the centre, the Dutch second line took the ridge line back.
The Empire made cavalry charges up the ridge against shaken P&S with some sucess, but the Dutch stull had enough reserves to make them fall back again.
The Dutch now advanced again in the centre & left.
The Empire tried anotehr counterattack on the far flank, but they couldn't stop the Dutch advance & the Empire centrte & right collapsed.
Once again the Empire lost. It seems that even though the points system says the forces are evenly matched, a larger number of small units trunps a smaller number of big ones.
