Nottinghill, the Final Battle

 Mat and I played our fourth battle of the Napoleon of Nottinghill.

                                                          Below: Nottinghill strongpoint

  View from the attacker's side. Units, initially, were represented by cards with about half being blank.

                                                             Nottinghill blanks or units?

                                             Below is a very assorted unit of attacking forces.

                           Nottinghill halberd men led by General Turnbull resist the advance.

                                                                 Nottinghill catapult.

                                                  North Kensington attacking rifle men.

                                            The cat, Dixie, stalks a pigeon but filed to catch it.

                                              North Kensington forces advance down a street.

                                            Nottinghill cavalry prepare to repulse the enemy.

                                   The attackers threaten to overwhelm the Nottinghill left flank.

                                                                 Nottinghill forces hold.

                                                     A ruin lies between the forces.

                                     Scott Wayne is pushed back, his men heavily reduced.

                                               Attacking two-handed swordsmen and axmen.

                                              A moment of shame, when many attackers fled.

               North Kensington riflemen loosed off some shots but were overwhelmed by Nottinghill men.

                            Nottinghill bowmen and musket men loosed their deadly volley.

                                                                Nottinghill defences

                                                    Factory/tower defenders were shot up.

                           

                             Nottinghill highlanders vanquish enemy two-handed swordsmen.

SETUP. I played as the defender, Nottinghill, and played largely defensively, waiting to be in range and striking distance of the enemy. Mat made the usual strong offence from his left wing. However, his forces repeatedly got lost and once even attacked each other in the dark. He lost 17 figures in the last.

 Mat incapacitated one of my catapults when he directed fire on it. The catapults were much weaker than in previous games. Amor was also generally with 5-6 D6 saves whereas last games some armor was 4+.

  However, towards the end of the battle Nottinghill leader, Scott Wayne was killed in melee. Enemy troops predominated around the water tower objective, so I declared Mat as the winner.
