A Gentleman's War in 54mm (part2)

 

Thought I'd do a quick update on the game . At this point both Generals (ie Me !) lost sight of the scenario objectives and became obsessed with the ridge dominating the centre objective. The Zouaves open fire on the Blue army infantry cresting the ridge.

The Blue Army managed to deploy their Artillery to cover the road junction.

At this poin I drew the first Jocker , followed in a few cards by the second one , which rather upset the  activation of units .

The Army Pantalon Rouge moved theit Infantry forward and open fire on the enemy on the ridge and caused heavy casualties which drove them back !

The Army Pantalon Rouge advanced up the hill , at this point the Blue Army General thought it a good idea to dramatically charge their second unit of infantry forward over the hill and into the disordered enemy Infantry . Being disordered Army Pantalon Rouge had to play their remaining face card to get them to fire at close range into the enemy.

Luckily having the War Correspondent with them allowed the Army Pantalon Rouge to reroll a dice which enabled them to beat and drive back the enemy . The Blue Army had lost about half of their Infantry in the last few moves - which is not good - to be continued .............
