Blood and Crowns: King of the Hill

 Sir Phallus and his band of English men are raiding the coast of Pigourdy.  They have sacked the Island of Cadzon, crossed the causeway and are attacking the village of Turdés.

The village has a reputation for its fine church silverware and fresh sea air.  Its the silverware we want!

The scenario is King if the Hill.  Get into the church or adjacent to it to achieve the objective.  The battle starts as a Corners fight.

Turdés a village just across the causeway from Islë De Cadzon

Corners.  The French deployment.  First mistake, the enemy forces are too far apart because this is 6 by 3ft.

The English deploy.  The French are much closer to that church!

Turn One.  
The French advance, using the buildings as cover from those dangerous War bows

On their right the French cavalry hide behind a building.  I don't want them impetuous.  The French Men at Arms get ahead of them.
On the other side the Genoese Crossbowmen move into a grassy knoll with their Men at Arms ahead of them.

I have as using small pebbles to indicate an activated unit.  Dismounted theologies long to triangulate into the nearest French Men at arms and break them.

Turn Four.   The French Mounted Men at Arms come closer ready to charge next turn.

And my Vintenar activates with arrowstorm. Four hits.  This kills two Frenchmen, and two fatigue.  

Turn Five.  The French come in, all a bit dramatic.  I didn't make ready with the bows, no defensive fire!

but it's a single kill, no fatigue.  

the Men at Arms fall back shaken as the archers fight back on their activation, killing another.  Routed!

And the English spears get ready to receive the French foot men at arms, finally arriving.
I then discover that "brace" is for pike, not spear.  This could be painful but I'm protecting the archers on this flank.

In they come.  Two hits And the brace was irrelevant. One kill The Frenchmen push another round, another kill but only one fatigue from all of this.

On the other flank I rout the Veteran French Men at Arms afoot.  Lucky dice work.

Turn six.  The English need to get to that church.  My retinue has advanced and I go for the French polearms foot. The Genoese are hoverring dangerously.

Four hits, three kills three fatigue points.  It's a glorious charge and my knight earns an honour point.  The French have lost half their force  now.

The French retinue battle my poor spears.  They inflict a fatigue but no kills.  The Spears fight back with a pair of hits, and a pair of kills.  Two more fatigued shakes the French.

That's game over.  I will be using a grizzled veteran character to lead my apartment in future, and shall name him "ancient Quilp.". Let's see how long he lasts.

End game.  The English claim the honour point for the objective.  The French rout from the field.  We have won Turdés.  

Carrying lots of loot the English return to their ships.  Sir Phallus intends to capture the port of Bumfleur as a jumping off point for the capture of the County of Pigourdy.
