I was able to get away to my friend’s for the first game in ages. It was a medieval affair with the flower of chivalry on display from both sides , not to mention lots of my ropey French archers reputed historically to be hardly able to shoot a chicken.
The view from behind the arrayed French troops looking across at the Burgundian camp. We had deployed unit by unit alternating.
The French knights in the foreground awaiting their enemy equivalents. Message to self must get some banners for these troops!
The Ordonnance bows and halberd/bill/ partizan equipped men steady themselves and wait for the enemy…
Aforementioned French dross archers ( irreg bow (I) ) advance across the table towards the Burgundian camp and troops who refused the flank.
Flanking fire ( what should one say when bows are involved )from the above archers kills quite a number of Bungundian Ordonnance bowmen.
French light infantry ( wonderfully known as bidet) attempt to stop the knights attacking them down the hill. Sadly this vainglorious effort was to no avail.
Burgundians commanded by Antonine the Bastard come to close combat with the French.
Burgundian Flemish pike stomp across the table towards be met by semi withering fire. And that was all there was time for. We will finish it next week. A most enjoyable game in good company and with super hospitality. Viva la 28mm French!
Great looking game, be interested in how it plays out, looks fairly even at the moment.
ReplyDeleteImpressive set up and great game. It looks like you had a good time. Luckily you can continue next week. I'm interested to see how this finally ends.
