      Thanks mate, we really appreciate that. This was one of those games that was an absolute joy to play and the outcome didn't matter. Pretty sure if we hadn't kept stopping every 15 minutes to take photos it would have been over 2 hours earlier 😅

    Grreat game! Even with the dice being a bit one sided, it showed how a layered defensive position takes time to overcome .... your gallant troops traded space, and their lives, for time!

    Absolutely fabulous game! I've been meaning to ask how you clean up your table. I noticed you use gravel and dirt to add roads and terrain features. Do you vacuum up the gravel/dirt?

    • @7thson726
      @7thson726  3 месяца назад +2

      Thanks very much 👍 I simply brush it into a dustpan then put it through a sieve ready for reuse. I don't tend to clean the mat as it adds more texture 😁

    I may have got this wrong, how did the Parliament cavalry manage to charge the Canon at around 39 minutes, if it was disordered? Perhaps it wasn't disordered?!

    • @7thson726
      @7thson726  3 месяца назад

      I think at the time we questioned if the charge would fail as it does in HC, but couldn't find it in the book so we just let the charge hot and applied the disordered modification 🤔

    • @peterweston189
      @peterweston189 3 месяца назад

      @7thson726 out of p&s, BP and hc, I'm most familiar with black powder rules. Pretty sure disordered troops can't charge, but now I think of it, I don't have the second BP edition!
