This was a fun scenario from Osprey' skirmish level rules, Pikeman's Lament. The Parliamentarians had to capture a Royalist skonce before the Cavalier relief party arrived. Despite the Roundheads' storming parties managing to successfully enter the fortification, neutralising the gun and some commanded shot, the Royalist relieving force arrived in time to save the day.
For me the schwerpunkt moment was in picture 7 when the second storming party threw 3 and failed to attack. With their comrades already in possession of the gun behind, this would have tipped the balance, and for once it wasn't my bad dice.
