If the field was wider, I'd outflank the Parls on each flank with my extra cavalry. Royalist infantry needs to hold back. Big question is what will the Parls do? They have an infantry advantage and are uphill. But they need to take the field. If they come off the hill and advance, I'd meet them halfway and try to win the cavalry contest.ECW 40mm Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170190784599775214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-79157764679819090902015-09-01T13:43:21.796-07:002015-09-01T13:43:21.796-07:00Thank you!
