Last Thursdays Jacobite game, Scots forces shattered..

Well, what nearly became a very early victory ended in a terrible defeat.
Karls Brits faced the Highland charge..

The Jacobites prepare for battle

Scots cavalry on the flank

Karls British prepare to recieve the highland charge

Impulsive as ever, the scots advance

Braving the massed British firepower the scots get ready to unlease the charge

Cavalry face up on the flank



Initial successfull assaults get bogged down and the Brits prepare steady volleys into the vulnerable scots. Unable to follow up on the early assaults, the scots are forced back with mounting losses.



British fire from the mounted dragoons on the flank pushes the scots cavalry back. The flank opens up to the brits.

The Jacobite centre collapses as the Brits take the wood from the eccossais.
Great game as usual, Karl was his usual self in victory, wanting to finish off the retreating scots.
It was so close, I could taste it, but even though the initial charges were successfull, the dice gods refused to grant me the breakthrough result.
In the end, the British steadfastness and firepower won the day.
The next will be a mini campaign I think...
