Situation after turn one |
I allocate the attack-dice to the artillery and muskets, and the move-dice to the remaining units.
I start by firing the artillery at the horse in their line-of-sight, needing 9+, rolling exactly 9, and so demoralising the Royalists.
Then the rearward muskets fire at the other Royalist cavalry unit, needing 9+, reduced by three thanks to support from two units of horse and one of muskets, but I roll 5.
The other musketeer unit fires at the same target, also needing 6+, but also roll 5.
Then my rearward horse charge the Royalists, needing 8+, reduced by two thanks to support from two units of muskets (my other horse cannot support as they cannot cross the bridge while it is occupied), and I roll 10, demoralising the Royalists and sending them fleeing to the edge of the battlefield.
Both my pike units move rightwards, and the unmoved horse stand pat.
I have captured a bridge and sent the Royalist horse fleeing, but my horse on the bridge are looking very vulnerable, especially as they have no retreat squares, a fact I have only just realised |
The foremost Royalist muskets fire at my horse on the bridge, needing 9+, reduced by one thanks to support from another unit of muskets, but roll 5.
That other unit of muskets fires at the same target, also needing 8+, and they roll 9, eliminating my horse.
The rearward Royalist muskets again stand still, but two of the pike units advance.
The river still divides the two armies (and I have remembered to move on the turn counter) |
