First Newbury Play-Through: Turn Seven

Situation at the end of turn six

My four dice give me 4, two 3s and 1. I reroll the 3s and get two 6s.

I give the move-die to the horse, and the attack-dice to the other units.

First I use the right-flank muskets to fire at the left-flank Royalist muskets, needing 8+, reduced to 7+ thanks to support from cavalry, hoping to clear a path for the said cavalry to advance, but I roll 3.

My other muskets fire at the Royalist horse, needing 8+, reduced to 6+ thanks to support from muskets and horse. I roll 7, demoralising the Royalists and forcing them back a hex.

My horse advance up the right of the map, and that ends my turn as the pikes cannot perform an attack.

The Royalist left-flank is undoubtedly the weakest part of their army

The artillery fire at my left-flank muskets, needing 8+, reduced to 7+ thanks to support from muskets, and they roll 8, demoralising my men and sending them fleeing to the edge of the battlefield.

The Royalist horse fail to roll the 5 or 6 necessary to rally, and so flee two more hexes.

The left-flank Royalist muskets fire at my horse, needing 9+, but roll 5. The other two Royalist musket units move towards my horse.

The foremost Royalist pikes charge my pikes, needing 8+, reduced to 7+ thanks to musket support, but roll 3. The remaining pikes move forward obliquely to their right.

There is still hope for the Parliamentarians, but not much
