We learned,last night,that Paul has another new skill-WASP WHISPERER!-how? well,as we were playing, a wasp,the size of a Sparrow,flew into the garage,and whilst four of us stood screaming,flapping and waving things at it,Paul stepped forward,and in stentorian tones,ordered the beast out of the garage-AND IT WENT!!!!-our hero and saviour! is there no end to this man's talents??
We're off!-Graham is attacking Dave's flank with a combination of artillery,Infantry and cavalry, Dave,as per our plan, is sending Infantry to support the farm and village-"Waspie" is attacking the village,and is trying to out-flank me!!
In this shot,Paul(sorry,I mean Waspie) is also attacking the farm hill,and has moved his cavalry forward-exciting stuff!
On Dave's flank,all hell is let loose! Cannister fire as well as muskets is slowing Graham down,but not stopping him-this is tense-in the background you can see the Royalist cavalry moving forward to the inevitable clash-brilliant!!
I have thwarted old Waspie's attempt to out-flank the village by placing one of my Infantry regiments in their way-a couple of salvos saw them off-hurrah! I have also maintained hold of the village by beating back the Royalist regiment sent to take it-another hurrah!!
A general shot showing the confusion and troop movement-this is what wargaming is all about!
Top shows my cavalry about to secure the flank,as thevillage is already secure,and safely in the hands of my infantry regiments-bottom photo shows Dave's flank well and truly secure,having beaten and driven back Graham's cavalry and infantry-so a well deserved win for the Parliamentarians!!
Another great game,with a 100% turnout from the "boys"-roll on next week,possibly ancients.
I’m flabbergasted... John, you won! Great bit of ECW action. Clearly early in the conflict due to the massive amount of disorder resulting from the engagement. Hope the banter was up to scratch ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Chris-a "spot on" game livened up with the "wasp incident!" the 100% turnout was great too-everyone contributed to the night's entertainment-l-ng may it continue,cheers.
