Battle of Hochst 1622

A rather untidy table - the Protestants on the left hold a fortified town , a redoubt to the rear , a stream to the front and a marsh on their right.  Using variable time the Catholic League and their Spanish allies attempt to push through and secure Hochst - which is just beyond where I have placed the book!

Just a quick post to get my new blog underway.  Mark, Russ and I fought the Battle of Hochst, June 1622, as Tilly attempts to snuff out the protestant rebellion in the Palatinate during the early part of the Thirty Years War.  Tercio's versus the new fangled Dutch deployments before the Swedes show everyone how it should be done.

A great bank holiday battle using principles of war rules.  As the protestant defenders I just about held out against the Imperial onslaught.
