8/13 game-Chosen Men Imagination

Planned originally as a warmup, the game has taken a life of its own.  Greg showcased all the Carlist War troops he painted to represent the Basque counties of his country, Roger showed off his infantry troops in their their colonial uniforms, and the uniform of the Light Horse of Dahara.

What the following does not chronicle was how relaxed we were at table, the scenario fit into the afternoon with time to spare. ( 550 points per side)

Some of Greg's cavalry with sword.

Others with lances, all sporting spiffy white bonitas.

Small mountain gun battery, the swivel gun range was used.

Initial Basque deployment.

Initial advance by the mounted units.

Unit of Basque enjoy the recent addition of a small pond.

The serried ranks of Dahara, lights, line and cavalry all in supporting distance.

The indiscipline of the Basque units results in a traffic jam.

Fierceness, combined with a trait from the commander allowed the Basque lancers to attack unsupported and yet push back the Daharan Light Horse file.

After the charge, the Daharan infantry's musketry emptied the remaining Basque horseman 's saddles.

 Both sides settled into a long range firefight, game time, i.e. turn 8 brought the scenario, a tie, to an end.
