Clash In The 'Valley of the Kings'. (Part 2)


The Treborian 'Hussars of Excellence drive the Haraboan Lancers back once more .


But as the Lancers retire the Hussars come under fire from the Ferraro Rochain artillery - here we see the blast circle devise deployed to see who might be a casualty.


The Treborian artillery struggle with the boggy ground and are slow getting into position .


But when they do !


The effects are alarming ! . The new improved matchstick shells are a great improvement ! .


On the other flank the Ferraro Rochain reserve infantry face off the Alicia Dragoons who have dismounted and deployed in skirmish order .


The Ferraro Rochain artillery retire down the road covered by the Lancers .


The final positions of the troops . I had decided to play eight moves and it was a marginal victory to the Treborian forces . However reinforcements for both sides are moving up so hostilities may continue in the morning .


The Treborian Commander Gen. D' Laye  meets the English tourist party and promises his protection and to arrange transport for them , their 'steam coach' having been damaged in the action . We will follow the next phase of this action in the near future .
