1798 Irish Rebellion: Siege of Wexford Campaign Game

United Irish Infantry Brigade

We finally got to complete Steve's 1798 Irish Rebellion game on Friday 9th June, after a bout 5 weeks without a game due to holidays, illness and other commitments by club members.

The Crown forces were triumphant after breaking a couple Irish battalions on the extreme right of their line, the resulting failure in morale by accompanying Irish battalions lead to first one then two Irish brigades routing form the field.

Meanwhile on the Crown Force's left flank a couple of will timed cavalry charges elicited the same failure in morale in the Irish forces brigades on that side of the battlefield.

End result Irish Army failed a n Army Morale test and routed from the field, the Siege of Wexford continues, albeit that an Irish re-enforcement column has now entered the cit and partially re-supplied the defenders.
