(Fictitious) Battle of "Lockdown Moor", 1643
Background
Once Upon a Time in The West….Riding……
In the summer of 1643, both Royalist and Parliamentarian
forces operating in the West Riding of Yorkshire, had hoped to secure the
rotten town of Lockdown for their respective causes. The highly independently
minded and non-aligned Clubmen Associations of Lockdown violently denied access
to the town and successfully fended off such attempts. The opposing forces from
both sides met in battle on the nearby ‘Lockdown Moor’. Both sides had extended
their supply lines and, with access to Lockdown denied, must defeat the enemy on
this very day!

Scenario Notes:
·
Hedges are only 4ft - 5ft
high, can be seen through and are fairly sparse. They count as soft cover if
fired through for all save troops positioned immediately up against them.
·
The town of Lockdown cannot
be entered. The battle will be on a c.5’ x 4’ table.
