Friday Night Fights-Beneath The Lily Banners

Brushing up on the Beneath The Lily Banners 3rd Edition rules by Barry Hilton. Just a quick pick-up game using a scenario from One Hour Wargames #20 " Fighting Retreat". The models I am using are from my War of Spanish Succession collection. Yes, I should pick up the new rules since it deals more with this time period. 

I've only played this game a couple times and I really like mechanics. Since I'm playing solo, I've had to adjust how I start initiatives.  Instead of simultaneous movement per the rules, or an I-go-you-go system, I will roll moving and firing initiatives.  That idea I took from Osprey's Honours Of War, Seven Years War ruleset.

Commander ability: The Allied commander rolled high as "Skillful". The French rolled an abysmal 1 "Plodder". That might give the Allies a good chance off holding off their opponents and enough time to join the columns.

Part two later. PICS NOT IN ORDER.
