Almost five years since we originally played a game with James Tlingit and Russian collection he bought them over for another run out. This time we'd be using the Rebels and Patriots rules and had Pete, as resident R&P expert on hand to play too. All the models and scenery are James' work - I just provided the venue.
First game was the Tlingit attacking a Russian camp.
The Tlingit warriors, resplendent in their wooden armour land on the beach and approach the camp.
More of them sneak up the crude pathways.
The Russians and their Aleut allies are on the alert
And head for the barricades
Tlingit are coming from all sides
The Tlingit warriors break cover
And the Russians man the barricades
Shooting begins and the Tlingit wooden armour proves no match for lead bullets.
The warriors close and pour fire of their own on the beleaguered Russians
Away from the gate to the camp the Aleut are tardy in reaching the barricades
As fighting continues to the south the Tlingit make their way to the defences
The Aleut rush to defend the camp but the Tlingit warriors have cur down the Russians
More Tlingit pour from the forest and into the camp
The Tlingit are free to ransack the camp.
Arriving on the beach
The unsuspecting camp
Closing in, the first shots are fired
Pressure mounts on the defenders
Fierce fighting as the warriors close
Archers pepper the barricades
Before rushing the defences
The barricade is stiffly defended
But more warriors are closing in
There are not enough defenders
The camp falls as the Russians are overrun.
Great fun game with a good narrative to it. On reflection perhaps a bit too loaded in favour of the Tlingit, perhaps a second unit of Russians arriving after a turn or two would have made for a closer affair?
