Here is a few pictures from the game I played with Juha this evening. We both had 10FSP lists, so we ended up playing Delay the Enemy scenario with My Muscovites defending. Juha played with a Lithuanian skirmish force.
Here's a picture of deployment with initial moves and plans.
We ended exchanging shot in the left flank in the first turn. In fact the shooting contest lasted till round 4 with me taking heavy casualties from the dragoons. On 4th turn My boyar sons came to help the provincial soldats and drove the dragoons away with their fire.
Meanwhile my streltsy had absolutely nothing to do or shoot. They were quite happy about it.
The boatmen stood still at the edge of the woods and the delayed orthodox peasants arrived.
On turn two the peasants on the left flank were charged by cossacks and voluteers. They were swiftly beaten and the lucky surviving base was fleeing as fast it could towards the woods.
On the third turn my dvorians counterattacked the cossacks that were running trough my peasant rabble .. err I mean my first line of defense. The dvorians got help from the boatmen hiding in the woods. Their fire drove the attacking cossacks away in disorganization. The disorganized cossack were easy prey for my noble dvorians.
The dvorians charged through remaining volunteers, who disorganized, while fleeing, the reiters that just had emerged in the flank. The boyar sons drove the dragoons away with fire and a few charge moves. By the fifth turn the left flank looked like this.
Nothing happened in the right flank. Two bases of tatars got trough my defenses and the last turn was just for cleaning the table. The delayed robbers (3 bases of volunteers) made a last daring attempt to take the central hill, but my soldats hold the line despite casualties.
It was a 5-1 victory for the Muscovites.
