Lady in Distress ....

Lady Agatha Hippedsley-Cox (Royalist),  while returning from a visit to her cousin in Longford Castle (to the south of Sarisbury) was intercepted by a body of Parliamentarian horse.  Her coach was damaged in the skirmish and they have taken her in a cart to hand her over to the nearest Parliamentarian garrison.

 Lady Agatha and her maid meet the garrison commander, they will be quartered in the main house, till a decision on their fate is made..
The horse leave using the cart to take some supplies to the other units of Parliamentarian army in quarters some miles away...
---oXo---
Part of Lady Agatha's escort escaped and rode at full gallop to the Roaylist garrison at Sarisbury for help, a body of horse and dragoons  left within the hour to attempt a rescue .

Supply train 'escort' ....

I re-based my marching musketeer figures from my 'Yellow' regiment of foot on single bases and gave them a repaint, just right for an escort guard to some supply wagons.
