The Allies were holding their own until rolling 1's for order allowance. This gave the French an opportunity to deploy quickly to the other side of the river. The French cavalry catching the Scots regiment in the open and unsupported made quick work of them and forced them to route.
The rest of the Allied command managed to reach the ridge safely. No room for the cavalry to deploy with the infantry, they were compelled to handle the French pressure.
Being attacked from two sides, the cavalry were both left unsupported. Each were beat by plain attrition. They both fought hard but going up against a unit with two supports and a Brigadier attached, it was pure numbers outweighing the outcome.
I called it there. With half the army routed, the Allies conceded. It was a tactical victory for the French but a draw overall.
I'm sure I got a lot wrong with the rules, as it was a learning game. But it felt like I was understanding the rules enough to make it comfortably playable. I am not sure rolling for moving and firing initiative askewed the rules in anyway, but it did make it interesting and a little more unpredictable.
I will break out my Jacobite and Williamite forces sometime next week for a proper BLB game.
PICS NOT IN ORDER.
