The British Legione struggle uphill to crown the heights , the token denotes they have become disordered .
As the Rocherian infantry advance quickly but come under devistating artillery from the Treborian 'Quick Fire Artillery' , due to some lucky card drawing the Rocherian column suffered three turns of artillery fire and being in a march column didn't save any of the hits , but suprisingly past their morale test.
An overview of the action , the British Legion and the Soldatii de Futuna confront each other on the conical hill on the left and the advanced unit of the Rocharians are under artillery fire in the centre.
The Soldatii de Futuna race up the hill and fire into the British Legione who are catching their breath and deploying into line .
Startled by the fury of the attack the British Legione fail their morale test and fall back - they roll a double 6 and retire 12" !!! - Oh dear ! , a further instalment to come soon ........
A dramatic turn of events, to be sure. I love the postage stamp markers. I forgot about those when I came up with the bright idea of old coins.

I think the quality of the rank and file may be lacking .
DeleteA very exciting battle Tony! It doesn't look good for the Legione, but you never know. They could regroup and save the day!
ReplyDeleteThey are rallying even as I type.
DeleteRed-coated sons of Albion fleeing from Soldatii!!! The great British public will be choking on their toast and marmalade! Letters to the Times will be written, someone must pay and a scapegoat will be needed - do you have a tin scapegoat?
ReplyDeleteThe interesting story of the Treborian British Legione is worth repeating and I'll post it next.
DeleteExcellent AAR and table. Not so patiently waiting for the next installment. :-)
