ECW Game

Think I've gone a bit berserk with the piccies, apologies on the quality of some, taken on the Mem-Sahib's camera phone, pics show the initial table set-up before Tony and I got to grips, table 10 feet X 5 feet, just under 1000 figures, Les Higgins  ( some on S Range horses), Hinton Hunt, S range and a few Hinchcliffe and Revell.  First day we used Charles Wesencraft's rules from his "Practical Wargaming" book, these worked extremely well ( well, I would say that seeing how my Parlimentarians won), we played the game over 7/8 hours, had massed cavalry scrap, units flying and dying all over the place, Royalist artillery died at their guns, I was able to outflank the Royalist left wing ( took a hell of a long time to get into position), most enjoyable game against an excellent opponent . Second day charged the layout and fought with Victory without Quarter rules, 15 units a side and again a hard fought battle with, dare i say it, yet another Parlimentarian victory, fight was extremely fierce with me ending up with only 5 viable units and Tony with 3 kind of hurt, Tony will be putting his view and assessment of the games on his blog "Prometheus in Aspic"
