ADLG-R Solo game Early 30 Years War Catholics vs 30 Years War Swedes

The table 

The Swedes win the initiative and choose to attack in the German countryside (Plains).  They choose a nice open table to allow the Salvo units lots of space to manuver.  

Turn 1

The Swedes

Swedish artillery scores the first hit of the game 

The German line just forms up due to some very bad command pips (3 x 1's!)

Turn 2 

Swedes contine pushing

Turn 3

The Germans need to rally.

The Dragoon is able to claim rear support fro the Reiters who are within 4UD 

The Caracole unit claims rear support from the Tercio who is within 2UD 

Turn 4

The Swedish mounted charge! 

The Germans evade long.  The Swedes choose to pursue as a line due to the Impetuous Hakkapeliita

The Swedish foot take some accurate artillery fire.  As they are within short range and the difference on the dice is 3+, they take 2 cohesion. 

The Swedes return the favour and break an artillery unit. 

By the end of the Swedish turn, most units have one or more cohesion markers. 

The Germans line up for the inevitable Swedish charge and cause lots of hits. 

Turn 6

The Swedish centre charges

The first contact goes well for the Swedes with a 6-1 on an already wounded Tercio.  With Furious charge, that's four cohesion markers.

The Tercio wins the next round of melee 

A German Tercio shoots and kills the Swedish cuirassier who was attempting to rally

Turn 7

The push of pike continues and the German centre starts to crumble with a Tercio collapsing. 

The German left flank crumbles 

A Swedish Salvo unit charges a German Tercio.  Even though it started the charge on the flank, the charge counts as a frontal charge as its a Tercio and its not engaged.

The Swedes conform 

End of Turn 7

The Swedes break Tilly's Germans but take heavy losses.
