The Anglo-Russian War: Skirmish at the Border, Part 1

[Dining Room Battles]

The 21st Imperial Russian Frontier Guard Company is sent to interdict smugglers in Russian territory near the border of Afghanistan . . . or is it Russian territory? The map says so!

It was agreed that the Amu Darya River would form the border between Afghanistan and the Russian empire. Unfortunately the Pamir Boundary Commission did not adequately survey the Amu Darya river and there was no clear boundary between Russia, Afghanistan, and some of the Princely States of India to include the Princely State of Chaimbellistan . . .

The Anglo-Russian War: Skirmish at the Border, Part 2



Continuing with our game of The Men Who Would be Kings: Bandits/Smugglers/Criminals are attempting to smuggle weapons, gold and other materials through the nebulous border area separating Asian Russian with the Princely State of Chaimbellistan. Captain Agorov of the 21st Frontier Guard Company has been ordered to stop them but his map is quite unclear where Russian territory ends and Chaimbellistan begins . . .

Checked your blog , this looks like a lot of fun .  This period lends itself to a good imagi nations campaign. A chance to put odd characters on the table with a back story to compliment them . The Men who would be Kings rules are ideal and play well in solo mode . Keep posting your progress , please .

And the conclusion . . .

"Sahib. There are Russian forces in Chaimbellistan."

One bandit group has been destroyed but the criminals have not be caught yet and the British are concerned that Russian troops have violated the territory of Chaimbellistan . . .
