Burgundian Ordonnance versus 100 Years War English

A friendly/practice game against John who was running the English.  However, it was slaughter as I rolled sixes almost non stop.  In fact our first initiative roll I came up with double six.  John then rolled the same!  I rerolled and scored 11.  John followed suit!!.  On the third roll John again rolled an 11 while I thankfully rolled something less - game on!

Deployment.
Happy to get my two new units on the table.

The Burgundians sit tight and put their trust in the big guns.

Their faith is rewarded.

And rewarded

The English decide to press on (it was a friendly/practice game after all)

They make a little progress...

This image is here as an aide memoire
The right hand English dismounted men-at-arms is in contact with the pike and organ gun
(the levelled pike figures make positioning a bit tricky).
When that second unit charged, it is not clear if the adjacent melee is reactivated.
I have asked a question in the Basic Impetus forum.

Post Script: and the answer was no, the adjacent melee is not reactivated

But what did I say about rolling sixes?

Game over
as the Burgundian Gendarmes thunder forward
