Just a roll, just a roll, Just a roll on your drum

"Just a roll, just a roll
 And the war has begun"

- Sloth: Fairport Convention

Turn 3: The French have advanced aggressively with their infantry split to cover both ends of the bridge and all of his cavalry on the near bank. The Imperial commander has launched his cavalry over the river apart from a few mounted arquebusiers on his right flank and these have fired the first shots.

But...... it hasn't gotten far. 

Charge and counter-charge saw the French cavalry thrown back but losses were heavy on both sides.

Soon........

  1. Strange thing about Fairport. Sandy Denny one of the best voices ever, but the Fairport songs I like most are fronted by Judy Dyble. Sadly, both gone now.

    1. I was hooked by Tam Lin on the radio in Montreal and that whole album remains my favourite.
