I feel like Keith Richard?

  I made mention of my podcast experience but didnt have a link available. I do now;

Please dont expect any amazing insightful ideas or facts, I must admit my memory has struggled due to lockdown so some recollections may be downright wrong.I did have some notes but even they were probably wrong. Sometimes I feel like Keith Richard's but dont have the excuse of drugs abuse.

John and I fought a cracking Never Mind the Billhooks game last week, using 240 points which dont sound a lot but actually is.I only used one large Irish ward backed up by the normal WOR troop types.I did however opt for some light cavalry having learned my lesson at Derby.They fought really well until they were annihilated.

I did use some ideas I had obtained from the Billhooks weekend such as linear units as opposed to blocks. I also used more gallowglass and kern.

The battle was a real toughie which was in the balance right up until the end when I had my commander killed with the remainder of his gallowglass.

I must admit my most effective units were levy archers, kern and my artillery. The levy shot really well and decimated John's retinue archers, as below.

                                       My levy archers being pushed forward by their betters.

The remnants of my cavalry were still able to charge into the backs of John's levy archers, they didnt last much longer when the shadowing enemy cavalry hit them.

And then back to my usual luck as I went  charge into the flank of John's billhook unit only to be stopped with an event card.They did fight the next move simply because they were hit in their flank.

Earl Kildare's ward, contained some hard hitting melee types that did fight well, even against some tough men at arms. Unfortunately I was slowly being out maneuvered as they fought.  

Its great to see we will be experiencing some wargames shows in the next couple of months and I am especially looking forward to Battleground which is a really friendly show.
