This week I fought another action in my Fescennia campaign: the Hesperides War. The Arcadians have fallen back after the previous battle and are expecting reinforcements. The Erymanthians have sent a strong advanced guard after them. I based the wargame very loosely on the Battle of Medina de Rio Seco in 1808 and used some of the ideas in C.S. Grant's "Programmed Wargames Sceanrios" to control the actions of the opposing forces. The Arcadians ended up with a very defensively-minded commander who held rigidly to his ridge while awaiting his reinforcements on his left flank; the Erymanthian general demonstrated cautiously on his left, but made a bold attack with his cavalry brigade on his right. The latter proved very successfully at first, but the arrival of the Arcadian reinforcements and the "Time's Up" call (the dining room table was needed!) brought the battle to a draw.

Here are some photographs of the action:
