First of all I would like to thank Tim a.k.a Eugenio Von Savoy and all the other members of "Like a Stonewall" group.Tim kindly invited me down for the Derby weekend and I was given the flanking command for their huge Battle of the Boyne 1690 game.This was played on a 30' x 6' table with stunning terrain and buildings.A good proportion of the figures used were Old Glory and Foundry and painted to a good standard, most of the flags were home made and these were very colourful.The rules we used were home grown by the group and worked very well.Over the two days we played 28 turns and got a end result and considering we used 153 units well over 3,000 25mm figures the game went smoothly and quickly.For those of you who couldn't make the Sunday it was a mistake to allow the Danish get a foot-hold across the Boyne as these applied alot of pressure on the Jacobite centre.The Dutch Guard infantry attacking Oldbridge found the village a little more difficult to take and James Lifeguard infantry managed to repluse one battalion of Dutch back across the river, but in doing so followed up and disordered themselves.These brave, but foolhardy men received musketry fire from three Dutch battalions and amazingly managed to rally while standing in the middle of the river.James centre began to crumble even though the other battalion of Lifeguard infantry advanced across the bridge and pursued a Dutch battalion to the point that William was at risk of being captured or killed.These eventually turned around in an attempt to save their fellow Lifeguards, but it was all too late.Sarsfield's cavalry in a bid to stem the Danish advance which was now also attacking James centre, charged the Danish Guard infantry and after a volley of musketry were wiped out to a man.
The flanking march was also making head-way against Jacobite infantry formed-up in hedgehog in a attempt to defend themselves against Dutch Guard cavalry.Eppinger's Gardes te Paard and Garde Dragoons managed to rout or break into four of these hedgehogs and they had a whole division of cavalry following them up in support.The Jacobite infantry stationed in the marsh did march up to the edge of the marsh and this did stop Trelawney's infantry brigade from advancing in column.
James centre division at Oldbridge finally broke and the battle was over with the threat of the Dublin road being attacked by Williamite cavalry.King James was last seen boarding a French ship never to return from exile.
The game went pretty close to the way the battle was actually historically fought with the same end result.
Here are some photo's from the game.
James II is now residing in a small shed at the bottom of King Louis XIV palace garden and talks to the garden gnomes on a daily basis....What do we do now....What do we do now???
Regards......Ray.
