Perhaps I shouls have made a set scaled for 2.5cm frontage but I wanted to play.<\/p>\n<p>The troop on the Queen&#8217;s side are less effective than the Regent&#8217;s, so I have given them reduced ability to sustain fighting and a lesser value in morale when deciding when the army decides that discretion is the better part of valour and retreats. I don&#8217;t think this will have that much effect, since all the army is reduced proportionally they have about the same effective value.<\/p>\n<p>The Queen&#8217;s forces are supposed to have outnumbered the Regent&#8217;s 3 to 2, but the Queen&#8217;s forces don&#8217;t seem to have done much on the day, so I am only giving the Queen&#8217;s forces three extra units, and because the armies in this battle are already twice as big as the Basic Impetus norm ;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The &#8220;House Rules&#8221; for this battle are<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Regent has better leadership, and they can choose to go first or second in each turn as they wish.<\/li>\n<li>The standard distance unit is 0.5cm<\/li>\n<li>Kirkcaldy&#8217;s Horse can help a non-pike foot unit, eg Archers, Hackbutters or Glaswegians, travel faster.
