We fought another run through of a game we have planned for the Society of Ancients, Battle Day in the North last week in an attempt to balance out the game as the WAB V.2 rules are they stand, almost certainly result in a very swift, if not immediate, victory for the Scots We wanted to have a more balanced game so a bit of tinkering was in order, still very much leaning in the favour of the Scots.
Basically, we reduced the effectiveness of the Scottish Schiltron rules when attacked by Cavalry, not completely, but just little, and hey presto- it worked! The game, won by the Scots over a period of many turns was a very satisfying.
In the interests of not giving the battle away (if you know, please keep stum!) I'm not going to describe the ups and downs of the game but simply leave you with these images to mark the event "sorted" for later in the year.

ReplyDeleteThe figures look nice!
A great game of 'modern ancients'!

Hi James, thank you for your comment. It's the Society of ancients that set the battle not me, nor our wee group. We're merely doing our "duty" and maintaining the tradition.
