Last Tuesday afternoon Craig came over with his lovely Peter Pig 15mm ECW armies and we played a small ECW ADLG Renaissance (ADLG-R) game out in the shed. This was our first ADLG-R game, so we were not sure about some things, but the QRS was very good and it proved to be a fun game. Craig commanded the Parliamentarians, who were the attackers and had an advantage in infantry and artillery. I commanded the Royalists who had a big advantage in cavalry.

The armies closed and after some artillery and musket fire, there was cavalry combat on the flanks and infantry combat in the centre. The Parliamentarian cavalry were routed but their infantry had the best of the combat in the centre. The Royalist cavalry were able to roll up the Parliamentarian infantry on their flanks but in the end both sides were broken in the same turn for a draw.
