Elizabethan Irish Wars – An undignified scramble to escape the enemy.
In this scenario an English Army has been harried all the way from Dublin on its way to reach a defended fort 'up country'. The Irish have finally pulled together a big enough force to close on the English. The English managed to escape across the river ford with the cavalry, a unit of shot and the majority of the baggage. Of special note was the brave rear guard stand by some Dublin colonists, buying some vital time for the rest of the force to escape; the utterly cowardly actions of the English cavalry, who escaped across the ford as quickly as possible without helping their colleagues; and the ghastly, selfish behaviour of the Galloglaigh who, upon reaching the enemy baggage, spent two turns looting the train whilst ignoring the rest of the battle.

proves himself a fan of splintered oars, crashing beakheads, and drummers yelling "come'mon, you scurves! The Captain wants to go water skiing, so pull harder!"
