We were unfamiliar with the rules, me more so than Dave, and it made us reluctant to do the wrong thing...and in so doing we did the wrong thing!<br /><br />On the right flank I was reluctant to charge at his cavalry because I expected the pike & shot units to turn around and hit us in the rear. That being said once our mounted reinforcements arrived form the town, I could have pressed forward and use the reserve to pin the pike units. Maybe it was too late in the game for that, I don't know. <br /><br />Next time we play I will have a much better understanding of Richards rules and how to play the period. Sometimes the best way to learn it to get it completely wrong!

Or, for not sending the cavalry to the right wing. I can assume you were trying to lure Ray to advance within shot of the cannon in the fortress.
