My version of Culloden April 16, 1746

My first 18th century game of the season.
The Jacobite line forms up

the government forces take position near the old farm.

rather than wait for the British to open fire, the Jacobites begin their charge

the Jacobites attempt to take both enclosures

but fall into a pincer movement

the British right consists of a combined Grenadier battalion

the Jacobite casualties add up

the Jacobite smash into the front line of government

and the Irish Picquets take position in an enclosure

the government horse flank half of the Irish picquets and the only Jacobite gun
history repeated itself by having the Jacobites cut down in a crossfire, the rest of the Jacobite army under the command of Lord Lovat, flee, the 45 is over, now the chase for charlie begins
