FoGR Scots Covenanter v Scots Royalist

Another FoGR game in Norfolk, this time with my Scot's Covenanters taking on Bill's Scot's Royalist in 15mm. 

Even at 650 points the Covenanter army was huge with an impressive 15 units and four commanders. On the downside several units were 'Poor' quality and some had an insufficient number of muskets!

The Covenanters won the initiative and decided to attack in agricultural terrain. Heavily outnumbered the Royalists adopted a somewhat defensive deployment:

The Covenanter's pour forwards while the Royalist's send vast numbers of Highlanders to capture the village on the left:

Both armies continue their advances:

The Royalist Highlanders destroy some Dragoons facing them while Covenanter Horse push back the Royalist Moss Troopers:

The Royalist Highlanders capture the village:

The Covenanters are beginning to put pressure on the Royalist left though:

The Royalist foot decide it is time to advance and engage the weakened Covenanter centre:

With Covenanter Horse lurking the Royalist Highlanders seem unwilling to leave the village:

Finally the two main infantry lines clash! The Royalists have more troops in the front line but the Covenanters have more reserves (admittedly poor quality!) and the superior 'Campbell of Lawers' Regiment (in the blue bonnets) to contest the field:

A break-through for the Covenanters as the White Regiment first weakens it's opponent with some accurate (aka 'lucky') shooting and then charges in to finish them off:

Poor Covenanter foot to the rescue! Covenanter frame guns are also pounding the Royalist foot:

The veteran 'Campbell of Lawers' regiment storms through the Royalist foot producing a large hole in the Royalist line:

With a couple of other units down the Royalists admitted defeat and retired from the field. It's great to be getting back into FoGR, I think numbers certainly counted in this game (combined with a lotof 1's and 2's for Bill's death rolls) rather than lack of quality!
