Our last game for the month of July was a nice little Jacobite Rebellion for the Anglo-Dutch Army to put down……..however as in must of my tabletop battles, I seem to come off second best. Both sides fielded 700pt Army for the Baroque gaming system. On one side was the Anglo-Dutch Army of seven infantry regiments, two guns and three cavalry regiments. On the other side were the Jacobites who consisted of one cavalry regiment, one Irish Regiment and 14 clans…..nasty stuff.
Right from the start, my cavalry was brushed aside by the Jacobite cavalry and the Irish Regiment, which presented my infantry flank to them quite nicely. However, my Dutch Brigade did manage to hold the centre and repel a few Jacobite charges before crumbling. The English Regiments on my right flank were made of sterner stuff and held out to the end before the army had to withdraw from the field.
I think if my dice rolling was a little better I would have driven the Jacobites from the field…but alas I did not. Thanks to John Maguire for putting on the game and suppling the great figures. Next week I think we are gaming another English Civil War (ECW) game so hopefully, I will have some more great images for you all.

Vinnie.
