Time has passed, the Maritime Alliance has landed on the Mainland, established a base camp and set out to drive the Rosmark forces back into the Mountains. Rosmark has had time to regroup and reinforce and General Eh has picked a good defensive position behind the Boinne River.

| Rosmark is ready! |
After studying the enemy position and sending out patrols to reconnoitre the surrounding countryside, General Bee has decided to send a detachment of Maritime troops upstream to a bridge in hopes of turning the Rosmark flank or at least drawing off some of their forces.

| The Alliance is keen to be at them! |
Rosmark has managed to muster 3 squadrons of cavalry, 6 battalions of infantry and 2 batteries. The Maritime Alliance has taken the field with 4 squadrons, 8 battalions and 2 batteries but the river is a major obstacle. Scouts have only found one fordable area, right in the bend of the river.

Looks like a tough fight for both sides. I'm sure it will be a great game.
ReplyDeleteLooks tough to me too.
DeleteOh, I recognise this! The Boinne River might have given me a clue, just, but it's that final picture that confirmed it. Years ago Jacko and I fought the thing as a Napoleonic battle. A pretty near run thing (but I won't divulge the result), and an interesting scenario.
ReplyDeleteI have played the scenario before but not often, actually I can only be really sure of the ancients version played when I did all of the Red Book scenarios.
DeleteRoss Mac,
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting scenario, and I look forward to seeing how it plays out.
All the best,
Bob
