The Fiddler's Bottom game has been replayed, this time using my original 3 hit version of OHW Horse & Musket, plus a bonus for embedded Generals. This time the attacking force out numbered the defenders. Again no specific artillery units were present. To win Red need to exit 3 units within 10 turns.

Far better result for Red this time. Did Blue have worse luck, combined with fewer troops?
ReplyDeleteBlue's dice throwing started poorly but picked up by the end - too late to stop the Red force exiting sufficient numbers. I'm going to keep the General's bonus rule as I rather like it.
DeleteAs Martin mentioned above, Red performed much better on this occasion. Once Blue’s cavalry were swept away then the road to victory was clear ⚔️⚔️

Indeed, Blue's Cavalry were shockingly bad in this game!
