Ambush At Kattego

Remembered that I needed to role for Disease and Mishaps before starting play.  The dice were not kind to Lord Renaldo.  One of his two Targeteer units thought better of the whole proposition and deserted.

The Portuguese reacted well to the ambush, forming a defensive line.  The Kattegoan warriors were too far away to make contact on their first move.  View for the following photo is to the West.

By the end of Turn 3, the Portuguese right wing units had moved up  to support  units in melee.  The Kattegoan archers focused their efforts on the Portuguese right, but with little effect.  The Portuguese musketeers struggled to attain good lines of fire.  The following photos are looking North and West, respectively.

During Turn 4, the Portuguese line stabilized.   Lord Renaldo’s Targetters anchored their center. The Kattegoan archers flanking fire was still ineffective.  Here’s another view looking North.

By the end of Turn 5, the Portuguese musketeers were firing with some effect.  One melee has ended in a “Bloody Draw”, with both sides recoiling due to Resolve of only “1”.  Neither unit can be rallied because Lord Renaldo is in melee, and the Kattegoan leader has somewhat inexplicably moved off some distance to  the left (North) apparently to support the archers.
