------------------------
The Highland & Isles Mob, Jack feared for his Bows & put them at the back....STRANGE? 
------------------------
Scots Common set up, the 'Hunter group' on the flank, Warband the other. Pike the centre.
------------------------
Direction of Attacks, the key for the Scots would be to 'draw off' some of Jacks Blades.
Jacks plan was to get in close & hack away.
------------------------
Steady Lads..!!! The Scots Pike look on.
------------------------
Were off, getting the high ground would be critical.
------------------------
The Warband race for the left hill.
The Warband race for the left hill.
------------------------
Yes!! Jack takes the bait & splits his force.....
------------------------
He turns his Bows in the background, but have they got too much ground to make up?
------------------------
A few turns in, the Army positions.
------------------------
It's going well, for once a plan is working....
------------------------
On comes the Highlands Mob, Jack also takes the bait of the Bows....
------------------------
The main battle line of the Higland Mob comes on.
The main battle line of the Higland Mob comes on.
------------------------
Charge..!!! In goes the Bruce. But the first round is a Scots Recoil... HHhhhmmppphh!
------------------------
Another round, try again & success...!!
------------------------
Nice view across the battlefield. Scots Warband in the foreground.
------------------------
The Scots Pike would have to hold their ground...
------------------------
The Highland & Isles Bows close the ground.
------------------------
------------------------
Knight General vs Warband.....
------------------------
In go the Psiloi as well.....
------------------------
The Wildmen are Mincemeat, 2-0 to the Scots Common Army.
------------------------
In go the Highlands & Isles Blades against the Scots Warband.
------------------------
The Dice Gods Shine Down!!!!! Another Blade down this time to Scots Pike.
------------------------
3-0 to The Bruce, Battlefield overview. It's a scary moment for the Bruce though as the Bows come into range, the dice are thrown & LUCKILY he escapes. The Psiloi are sent in to cover his escape...

------------------------
The Highland Lads are in trouble. Magnus Bearlegs has the 'IDIOT' attribute & has to deduct one from his PIP Roll. A few times in the battle the Army is left unable to move.....
------------------------
One more Kill to go, the Scots Bows have stayed one step ahead of the Highland Blades. Now they go & support the Bruce.
------------------------
The dice are brutal, down go the Blades........
------------------------
Victory for the Scots Common Army...... Final Overview.
------------------------
'I love it when a plan comes together...'. Victory for the Scots Common Army & an impressive one as well. Jack agrees he got caught out, but takes defeat in good spirit. Well, well, we've finally seen how powerful Knights can be in combat, which is about time for one of our games. That's NINE more points for the Scots Common Army, but a big fat ZERO for the Highland & Isles Lads. Next up will be the Welsh vs the Highland & Isles Lads. Leaving the juicy prospect of Robert the Bruce leading the Scots Common Army against the old enemy, the Feudal English. Victory would give the Scots the title of Champions of Britain. (Jack has already said he'll be the Scots for that one....)
Battle of Britain Scores after two rounds:
- Scots Common = 18
- Welsh = 10
- Highland & Isles = 9
- Feudal English = 3
