The Bridge on the River Qwhy (an abrupt end !)


We left the last episode at the point when Morris Oxford planted and primed the 'Infernal Device' , I decided that I would throw a dice to see when it went off - on a 1 it would fail to go off , 2,3,4,5, when the next Joker was drawn , on a 6 it would explode immediately ! . I rolled the dice and it came up '6' !!!! 'KABOOOOM' ! and it exploded destroying the bridge - and what of Morris Oxford ? . So a success for the fledgling Republic with the main railway line cut and the Sublime Porte's invasion route blocked for the time being , which will allow time for Hellenyk Republic to organise it's armed forces .

  1. Ending with a bang not a whimper, great game with more to come I imagine.

  2. A sensational conclusion, Tony! My only complaint is that your photos are too low in resolution. I can't see your wonderful soldiers properly (getting old, don't you know).

  5. Yes standard rule of variable events. The least likely result will happen more often than not.

    Still, it looked splendid while it lasted.
