Date: 17 January 1746 - Size: Medium - Location: Southwest of Falkirk, Scotland
Scenario Briefing: Variant - In late 1745, the Jacobite Army was besieging Stirling Castle, and a relief army under Henry Hawley moved into Scotland by mid January.
The Jacobites decided to attack on the 17th, but extreme confusion and delay prevented the attack from kicking off until late in the day, by which point the weather had turned to snow, sleet and rain.
In an extremely confused battle, the Jacobites were able to drive off the British, but proved unable to gain any major strategic advantage from the battle.
This variant has an earlier start, with the Jacobites approaching the battlefield and the British forces still in camp (their disordered state reflecting the need to form up in response to the Jacobite advance)
Note: The Field hex type here represents the wet moorland, and thus reduces movement more than usual. Also, muskets have reduced firepower due to the wretched conditions.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played Head-to-Head.
