  • Welcome to another English Civil War Battle Report - we are once again using the Pike and Shotte rules by Warlord Games. We have set up an intresting scenario with mutliple objectives that can be claimed at key points across the battlefield. These won't be enough to win on their own however and plenty of clashes between pike blocks will be needed to ensure victory.
    Once again i'll be using the Royalist forces while Miller leads the army of Parliament but this time he is using the New Model Army whereas i'm using the Late Oxford Army.

    Great job Gents! Miller does a fantastic job not coming totally unglued... his frustration on a few of those dice rolls was palpable 😂

      @7thson726  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Oh definitely, he did a great job still holding it together, it really was that last turn that made the difference for the Royalists as up until that point it was fairly even 👍

    Excellent game gentlemen, can’t wait for the next.
    Also I believe we’ve learned a simple lesson this game, when facing troops dug into concentrated defences, don’t try and assault them with musket armed troops but just lay into them at close range with superior firepower.

      @7thson726  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They were the lynchpin of the Royalist force, I think if they had lost the Chapel then that would have given Parliament a solid hold to launch the attack from, their presence prevented parliament from joining up its centre and it's flank 👍

    Entertaining game but I've never been able to buy into a system where you paint up a unit of ten men that only ever get 2 or 3 shots or attacks! Thank you Two Fat Lardies for Sharp Practice!😂

    • @7thson726
      @7thson726  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Glad you enjoyed it. But of an odd point haha Sharp Practice is much smaller in scale and for this the number of men on the base is irrelevant. these games units are based on Frontage with no min figure requirements and no figure removal so the stats for shooting are static 👍 I do need to get in some more games of Sharp Practice though 😁

    Very enjoyable as ever. Started watching a couple of Netflix progs, but couldn't settle, so particularly enjoyable. These Civil War reports are my favourite (I use these rules). Looking forward to the next larger multiplayer battle. It would be good to see Waller, Wilmcote, Byron added to the big names on show.
    Once more thanks again for an entertaining evening....those cannon at the end...😮😅

    Always love your reports Martin, regardless of the period. The 8 foot table worked pretty well but I wonder if deeper rather than longer wouldn't allow for more maneuver. Depending on the scenario, going end to end, rather than side to side, on a 5'X8' (?) or keeping in mind the really exciting game you had working diagonally from opposite corners in a WotRs battle report . might be a possibility. Tell Miller I'm really liking the look of his big Cavalry units, they looking vewy scaiwee in their dark colors. But wasn't the "New Army" that started the British red coat theme, cause it was a cheap color to produce ? Hugs for all your good work.

    Fantastic game guys. You are slowly bringing me around to actually liking pike and shotte. It would be good to see you guys do a campaign for the ECW. As a new model army vet I'd just like to say to Miller that Black Tom would be turning in his grave!😢

      @7thson726 I've got them but we've not got around to using them yet. We've not played the ecw in a long time. I've played Civil War by Athena Games which is a definite no. 1644 which was OK. Warhammer ecw which was not as good as ancient battles but people loved it. Also played 2 others which I can't remember now.

    Not a 100% on pike and shotte
    But in that melee he was like -5 in one or those rolls...or something why did you say only -1 😮

    • @7thson726
      @7thson726  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Do you mean for a break test? In Pike and Shotte unlike in Hail Caesar the difference between casualties caused in the melee isn't used for the break test, only excess (in excess of Stamina) casualties are a minus. So if he has a stamina of 4 and I cause 5 casualties, and I win the combat he's testing 2D6 -1, unless he's shaken in which case it's another -1. Next round all those casualties would be in excess so the modifier would be higher.
      Hope that's helpful 👍 if I've missed what you're getting at let me know and I'll do my best to answer
