Not so much Pikeman's Lament, more Horseman's Lament. In this exciting encounter, mounted troops chased one another up and down the high street of some undeserving Midlands town, much to the consternation of the local populous. I'm not sure which side one, nor whether that side would have known that they had won. Horsemanship and rabble-rousing ribaldry were the true victors, I imagine. Rules used were the popular Osprey title 'Pikeman's Lament'.
