The Battle of Hooks Farm

Shinigami’s forces – Colonial Brits and Vikings
Baron Samedi’s forces – El Cid Spanish and Spanish Guerillas
The forces deployed
The Vikings get close
The Brits take pot shots
The Spanish lack the speed through the ruins to counter the Vikings and may be hung out to dry
But their archers fare better, rushing a low wall and killing two Vikings
The Viking charge was somewhat ineffectual, but the Brits did manage to catch a Guerilla in the bushes
The Guerillas returned the favour with a lucky musket ball
As the Knights began to clear out the Vikings
The Brits make a dash from the cover of the wall, but fail to do much even with rifles and bayonets
Another group of Brits fare better however, providing some support fire for the stranded Viking in the ruins
And out on the flank, move Vikings go toe to toe with Guerillas
A devastating round saw many Brits fall
And the last Viking in the ruins run through
Then the remnants of Shinigami’s forces began to flee, and the victor was obvious.
