Medieval and while not an historical match, they were close enough and more importantly the game is good practice for the club's competition. Mark B tried out the Tudors that he is running in the competition.
The Burgundians were out scouted and found the Tudors sitting on a hill between two woods.
The Burgundians start to advance,
their hand gunners rushing forward
trying to dodge the enemy cannonballs.
The Duke with his retinue shuffle left.
The distance has been closed and serious shooting is about to begin.
The hand gunners didn't all dodge fast enough.
The other Burgundian knights have shuffled right.
The Tudor knights have matched these shuffles.
The initial round of firing has seen serious casualties inflicted on the Tudor longbow.
Casualties that proved fatal.
At this stage the good Duke predicted it was all over for the Tudors.
To encourage the Tudors to decamp,
the Burgundian missile troops advanced.
Goaded into action, the Tudors advance.
A charge by the Tudor lefthand knights run over some Burgundian longbow,
but find themselves countercharged by Burgundian knights.
The knights keep fighting.
The infantry has also come to blows.
Both sides have lost their heavy guns.
The Duke's knights have been successful,
but a flank charge by the other Burgundian knights failed to deliver.
The double unit headed by the dismounted Tudor men-at-arms is tough!
The other unit of Tudor knights is having a hard time.
Game over.
The Burgundians have lost three units,
the Tudors somewhat more.
