French Ordonnance vs Medieval Irish - posted by Allen Yaxley, 16 January 2022

Had a game at Phils today. I used medieval Irish against his French Ordonnance .

21-4 to Phil.

A very tough opponent.

Managed to lose 14 blade from the Scots command by games end plus all the Irish Ally command.

Such fun inside on a hot summers day.

Phil’s pike pushing through the Scots blade.

My Irish commoners advance and didn’t move again . No pips.

OK, so maybe the Irish can't claim too much honour . . .

My deployment was inadequate for playing a pike army.
Thank goodness his flank much didn’t arrive.

My left flank crumbled miserably. Two ambushes were wasted. 
Need to rethink the terrain choices and deployment.

  You are distracting Philip Gates. He said he had a list of tasks to do around the house this summer!

      Allen Yaxley a reward for good work rather than a distraction. Gold star in Phil’s homework book or a happy face stamp on the back of his hand - old school

  Good to see the Irish retaining their honour. "No surrender!" :^)

  Good fun game too. Even if my Milanese ally didn't turn up. But I got a few 6-1s instead.
