We did not end up laying out the troops for the first big(er) battle ...
My young opponent chose to withdraw immediately from Princes Rupert and Maurice.
It cost him the 'drunkard' leader Major Congnac and the cohesion of the area militia as they were scattered across the area after they fled the field.
The Royalists got to move first this time and pulled back to cover Oxford with Rupert and his lifeguard, then Waller came forward with Hesselrigges Lobsters and combined with another Parliament force in the area to really hit hard on the remaining Royalists, now back under Prince Maurice.
Looks like another smaller action south of Bristol is going to take place also ... two fronts are warming up in the west country...

| two battles coming in week three |
Maybe we'll get them both done the coming week on the now deployed 'big' table.
