Another loss

Last night I decided to run my British this time.  They aren't a numerous lot and I had to go for quality to get the 1600 points we were going to battle for.  Here's the list.

This is how the game played out.
British gun line failed to halt the french advance.

Got caught on a few rules issues.  Was not aware that if my cavalry does not make contact with a unit on the battlefield and pursues the enemy from the field then they may not return.  Scots retired shaken, moved back into line formation to dress the ranks, did not realise that they had to spend the turn rallying.  French then charged with no test to do so and that was the end of the Scots.

I do like this game system but I am frustrated that the rules are the most unfriendly written ones that are out there, but that applies to virtually all of the WRG rule sets.  Wanting to read the rules is not high on my agenda, so I rely on the good manners and sportsmanship of my opponent to remind me.... maybe.

The British are now retired.  Working on 1600 points of Prussians and see how things go for next week.
