Mc Duff takes command .

 


Fresh from a Military career in the snowy wastes of Canada Colonel Mc Duff has taken up a position in the forces of the Republic of Helenyka . He and his small force where a kind gift from Ross Macfarlane .: A gift from the New World . (tonystoysoldiers.blogspot.com) and are seen here manning a French Mitrailleuse Machine Gun . 


His first assignment is a tough one, he has been given a motley force of Volunteers, Irregulars and only one unit of Regulars to defend a Border crossing from an incursion of the forces of the Sublime Porte , here seen on the left - Mc Duff's force is on the lower right.


The Army of the Sublime Porte move onto the tabletop - 2 units of Regular Infantry , 1 unit of Border force , a unit of Lancers and a gun and crew - enough to brush the Helenyka rabble away !


The Sublime Porte force has 'Bruiser' as an asset .


The Republican asset.


The game set up - it will last for the drawing of 4 Joker cards , so  McDuff is up against the clock . Battle report to follow .........

  4. I'm afraid that McDuff's abilities as a leader will truly be tested in this game! He's not in Canada any more! And you have the loveliest ladies in your games Tony, I envy you and your excellent painting skills!
