Gen B. unfurled his rather super new mat for the occasion (which for some reason has a rather bluish cast in the pictures).
Steve took the plucky Brits, a Sikh unit of which had recently rescued the lovely "Creamy" Beatrix and were planning to hold on to her until help arrived.
General B took command of the Pathans and I drank beer and adjudicated.
The Sikhs prepare to defend Beatrix's honour (such as it is)
Pathan hordes arrive
Close Order is formed
The Pathans rush on
The thin kahki line gives fire
Pathan swarm across the hills
The Sikhs are cut down and Beatrix is at the mercy of the Pathans
The 99th Humbersiders arrive
Beatrix is abandoned
More Pathans approach their target
But the Humbersiders are resolute
The last fatal charge of the Ghazis
I think I may need more scenery - the natives SEM very vulnerable. The field fun also feels horrendously powerful I may just paint some more soldiers so I don't feel obliged to...ummm...field one every game.
The game certainly cracks along I'm sure we'll play again soon.
Tremendous fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael, we enjoyed ourselves.
Delete'Creamy' Beatrix - brilliant! Definitely paint some more soldiers (maybe some cavalry as well).
ReplyDeleteYes, I think I feel the urge for some Bengal lancers..
DeleteStirring stuff!
