  So Waller, in the Summer of 1644, tried to chop up King Charles I (now we have a Charles III!) army on the march.  Historically, that didn't work out very well, but

  With only about an hour left on the clock (things have see-sawed a lot...pretty good scenario!)  Bennet gets ready to charge while
Waller and co rally or otherwise recover (reloading their pistoles even) (in the end Waller held on as the clock ran out so I gave him a minor victory versus his historical minor defeat):
