Each year, we stage a mega game at a local Train & Hobby Show. This year it was ECW. Our devised battle (The Battle of Auchentoshan) was set in the Lowlands & saw a Royalist English army confront the Covenanters. Later, on dice rolls, Montrose's army & a Parliamentary army entered as allies to the aforementioned.
The two day Show game is now over. After Day One we used our Nightfall concept, not only withdrawing but also doing some re-positioning, rallying & re-organising. It gave the game impetus for the following day &, I think, was a useful mechanism for our game.   Initial deployments/Day One
 Parliamentary forces arrive Turn 2
 Montrose arrives Turn 4
 Attacks on the Covenanter centre
 End Day One: things look bleak for the Covenanters
 Covenanter Lancers: rallied & ready for Day Two
 Renewed attack on the Centre
 Royalists oppose Parliament  Royalists rampant.

If I might be permitted a small triumph, in spite of having my Covenanters and my pal's Parliamentary armies soundly thrashed by the English & Scottish Royalists?
The far right of the photo shows the raiding force of a poor Horse unit and my Moss Trooper light Horse that successfully sacked our opponent's supply camp, drew off & occupied two of Montrose's Horse units, a Dragoon unit & a unit of English P&S, and none the less survived the battle intact.It's a bit like speaking about how well England did in the Tea break during the last Ashes match against Australia but I will take any positives I can.

Wow! That's a huge battlefield! What manufacturer make this buildings or are they homemade? The Black Houses, Pele tower & other Scottish buildings are resin, made by Anyscale
They're nice models, easy to paint &, of course, in our scale.
The other buildings are a variety including an old Dapol cottage.
