H.G.Wells to the rescue (or a Daring Escapade)

H.G. Wells and Miss Perkins lead the attack to free the prisoners , the guards are dealt with before they can make a sound . I played this action on a small 2' x 2' board halving all the distances and using the skirmish ideas put forward by the author on the AGW Face book page .

The Walkers are freed and are hustled away whilst the Treborian soldiers (masquerading as 'Black Hand' revolutionaries) move to hold up the rest of the guards . I roll a D6 to activate the Albanians and think they must have been drunk because the game was nearly over before the got going .

Under heavy fire from the well hidden foe they fail a moral check and scuttle off down the street . In fact I was so embarrassed how easily the Treborians won I replayed it again - with more or less the same results .They were meant to get some Lancers as support (activated on the first Joker card drawn) and they never turned up either .

With no pursuit the Walkers are escorted across the border back into Treboria were H.G . reveals his true identity .

It turns out that Reg Walker is an avid collector of 'Zinnfigern' as well and has heard of H.G.'s soon to be published book on Wargaming . Being a wealthy business man he tries to get a Knighthood for H.G. but when the P.M. Boorish Johnson hears of the part played by Miss Perkins her is incensed, quote - "I will not give honours to a man that consorts with a Scarlet Woman !" (this of course is very rich coming from a man with a VERY dubious private life indeed) 

Interestingly Miss P. Perkins wrote a biography titled '40 years a Scarlet Woman' , It caused quite a stir because of it's 'kiss and tell' content with several members of the upper classes trying to sue her (by then she had moved to the U.S.A. and so nothing came of it) . Copies are very hard to come across nowadays commanding large sums of money as many copies were bought and disposed of by the 'morality movement' - to prevent their servants reading it 1
