Despite not losing a single unit, and despite inflicting huge losses on the enemy, I lost the battle because I failed to clear the field of Royalists in the allotted time.
My only consolation is that this in a way followed what happened 380 years ago.
According to Wikipedia, the Parliamentarians in the Battle of Lansdowne suffered 20 killed and 60 wounded, compared with Royalist losses of 200-300 killed and 600-700 wounded.
Yet it was Sir William Waller and the Parliamentarians who used the cover of darkness to retreat from the battlefield, while Royalist commander Sir Ralph Hopton was made a baron as a reward for his 'success'.
Be that as it may, the AI now leads our series 4-3.
