      Thanks mate, we really appreciate that. This was one of those games that was an absolute joy to play and the outcome didn't matter. Pretty sure if we hadn't kept stopping every 15 minutes to take photos it would have been over 2 hours earlier 😅

    I may have got this wrong, how did the Parliament cavalry manage to charge the Canon at around 39 minutes, if it was disordered? Perhaps it wasn't disordered?!

    • @7thson726
      @7thson726  8 місяців тому

      I think at the time we questioned if the charge would fail as it does in HC, but couldn't find it in the book so we just let the charge hot and applied the disordered modification 🤔

      @7thson726 out of p&s, BP and hc, I'm most familiar with black powder rules. Pretty sure disordered troops can't charge, but now I think of it, I don't have the second BP edition!

      @7thson726  3 місяці тому +1

      Hi there. That's totally understandable but I would always encourage people to start and give it a go. Maybe just buy one box of miniatures, some of the basic paints and see how it goes. I did a basic step by step for how I did some ECW troops and one on the Cavalry - all fairly straightforward but they may assist ua-cam.com/video/p3C7vZamvDo/v-deo.htmlsi=_xf6D9C9ClnGlkWX
