In this interesting scenario, the Douglases and Hamiltons fought the length and breadth of Cowgate in Edinburgh for control of the city, the castle and influence over the 'long minority' of the infant King, James V. A horrifying feature of the battle was the presence of local townspeople, armed with flails, pitchforks and other assorted agricultural implements, to attack shaken units of the paid retinues, from the flank and rear. The Douglases prevailed, driving the Hamiltons back up Cowgate, to carry the day.
The rules used were Lion Rampant, which work quite well, although we are noticing certain quirks with the rules - shooting being too powerful, lack of incentive to attack for quite a number of unit types etc.
Very different on the eye - nicely done. I wonder how ‘Never Mind the Billhooks’ would handle it?
