The battle started with the Treborian Artillery opening fire and then drawing an Ace card and get to shoot again - causing heavy casualties on the advancing Ferraro Rochain forces .
On the other flank the Treborian column has to 'face left' to combat the enemy infantry in the woods .
The Ferraro Rocher infantry advance under heavy fire ! , I drew a chance card and the building mysteriously burst into fire !? (enemy insurgents ?).
On the other flank they hold off a superior Treborian force . The right unit suffers heavy casualties BUT pass both it's moral tests and is awarded a medal and so doesn't need to take another moral test this game !
The Ferraro Rocherian reservists move up (rather slowly)(they ARE older part time soldiers after all ) , going through that wood is going to take ages ! . Next instalment to follow soon ........
That is a splendid little battle. What is the purpose of the coins?
