Field Of Glory Renaissance - Early Imperial Catholic versus Later Swedish

Game of FOGR today with Stephen and I used my Imperial army (Later Tercios) and Stephen used Later Swedes (usual 800pts apiece affair).

Quite a terrain heavy table with lots of large areas of broken ground.

Swedish 3 gun battery done terrible damage to one of my advancing Tercios (by which I mean I kept rolling one for death rolls !) and it was soon decimated and auto broken.

My own guns had initial success but were overrun by Swedish musketeers as unable to any damage at close ranges.

On my left a cavalry clash went Stephens way (so many hits) and I lost 2 units of Kuirassiere whilst a doughty unit of lowly Reitiers managed to hang on against the Swedish Determined Horse.

Remaining Tercios clashed in center with Swedes but again came off worst (I just could not win a melee) and Imperialist were defeated.

Good game as ever with FOGR.
