Another quick turnaround for General B. meant another opportunity to squeeze in some more Lion Rampant between our ongoing Chain of Command games.
This happened well over a month ago so details are at best hazy. I think General B was trying to exit men off the board and I was trying to stop him.
Anyway, pictures
A river divided the battlefield and I think some of my forces were delayed.
Anyway the Percy archers pushed up
My cavalry arrived. However with no leader on the broad (and him nowhere near them when he did get there) they played their usual Lion Rampant role of sitting very still and causing regular turnovers.
See, pretty. Your turn, General B.
My light horse cantered off to deal with the advancing foe
And my leader and his Men at Arms arrived as well.
The white clad archers milled around a bit.
My Bidower types pushed forward and proved an ongoing irritant for the forces of General B.
The mounted knights of the enemy were lured in to rough ground and fallen upon by my men at arms.
The light cavalry caught archers in the open.
Finally the knights moved up. Before deciding they very much liked this side of the bridge and handed the initiative to the enemy at several crucial moments.
Fortunately their light brethren were doing sterling work.
Whilst some of my bill had captured the high ground.
My men at arms found a new foe.
After several turn ending turnovers the knights finally trotted forward.
The white clad archers too crossed the bridge.
General B's men were hugging the edge of the battlefield.
But were attacked by my bill.
As the archers closed in for the kill
The enemy general dead, the bill hunted down the remaining archers.
A hard fought victory for my men!
A great game with plenty of to-and-fro and unasked for failures on both sides handing advantage to their opponents.
A few bonus phone pictures.
