6/5 for the Government then 6/4 for the Jacobite side with a little luck. The key is to attack with the Jacobites (hoping having good cards and dice) on their left side.

Two games with a win each.

Game 1 was a 6-3 win to the Government forces with the wings crushing their opponents.

Game 2 was a 6-2 (8-2 by the end of the final turn) to the Jacobites. The Government assault on the right collapsed when the all-out attack by the Government Grenadiers and Highlanders dismally failed to achieve anything and was in turn wiped out. Attacks from the victorious Highlanders and some Spaniards and Lowlanders in the centre caused further routs.

Points to note were the atrocious dice rolling in combat by the Government forces in the second game. Dozens of dice rolled for one hit.

Second point was the awful effort of the Government artillery in both games. Estimated some 40+ dice rolled over both games without scoring a single hit or retreat. It could have tipped the balance with bonus shots of Bombard, Artillery Bonus and Inspired Leaders but did not do a thing.
