Summing Up Hopton Heath

IT IS easy in retrospect to see I was overly pessimistic during the battle.

The poor old Earl of Northampton never stood much of a chance with most of his army on one flank and he almost on his ownsome, apart from a loyal bodyguard of musketeers, on the other flank.

At least that was the situation once the Royalist horse had been defeated.

And, once the AI set up with such a large gap between the Royalist horse and the rest of the Royalist army, it was a simple matter to modify my original plan of a mounted left-hook.

All in all, once again a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and one that leaves the score in battles 2-1 in my favour.
