As you remember from my last post Red armies Gatling gun has been captured by those rascals of Blue army , the Naval Brigade charge to recapture it ! Huzza !
They take heavy casualties charging in but drive back the enemy and recapture the gun ! Huzza !!
Unfortunately thing deteriorate rapidly, the Blue army Colonial rally and pour a murderous fire into the victorious Sailors who fail their morale test and flee and even the entreatments of the General fails to rally them - Oh dear ! a sad day for old England .
On the right flank things are not going well either, the Red army Colonials (who are counted as 'brittle' ) fail their moral test and flee as well ! . With this is where I decided to draw a veil over the sad proceedings .
Any similarities with Henry Newbolt's "Vitai Lampada" is purely coincidental , here we see Henry feverishly flicking through the rule book to find a way to win the battle . A good game and it was nice to get the 54mm figures back onto the table again .
A nice looking game, Tony. The pickelhaube infantry and their colonial allies look very good!
