The forces were drawn up for a traditional pitched battle in this game, using the Pikeman’s Lament rule set. In reality, pitched battles were not really a feature in this series of wars, save the final, climatic engagement - The Battle of Kinsale in 1601.
In our battle, The English eventually ground their way to a narrow victory. Both sides deployed Kern, which were pretty useless on the more open battlefield. The gentlemen volunteers from the Pale were probably the best performing unit, seeing off two units of Bonnachts. Also the English pike held their ground to the end to enable the English player to claim victory….well, just about.
