It's the flesh and blood troops that carry the day every time.

Long live the Tsar!!

But if I remember correctly it was one unit of steam tigers that crushed the Tsarist left flank in the last big game single handedly.....

That was a fluke.   :D

Maybe, but it was a magnificent fluke. Lets revisit it, shall we?  ;)



THe full squad of 10 Tigers led by Colonel Moran, charge the Russian position



They recieve an incredible amount of fire from the Infantry and Artilery. Five are lost, but the charge continues



Bloody hand to hand combat ensues but the Tigers are triumphant. However only Colonel Moran and his trusty  Daffadar Narayan Singh survive. Do our heros hesitate? Do they retreat? NO. They continue the charge onto the Russians native allies, seriously outgunned and outmanned.



Destroying them utterly



The two looked at eachother in disbelief. They were still alive. " Shall we continue on Narayan Singh, my valliant friend?" "Aye Sahib," replies the heroic Sikh, "let us send all of these Russian devils to hell!" They continued their charge



Again, the fighting is fierce, 2 against 11. Russian casualties are heavy. The two heros have 3 wounds inflicted on them, needing to roll three sixes in order for both to survive. The British player apprehensively rolls his dice.......

AND



Triumph. The remaining Russians flee and the Tsar himself is visible to Moran for a moment as he is led away by the few bodyguards that he has left.





 :D Moran was given the Victoria Cross for his heroic actions.

Full disclosure, the shame of that day was not Sterling Moose's to feel. He was in command of the other flank, the successful one.

Ah yes. I remember that game! My highlanders just had to follow up the wild steam tiger charge and loot the bodies. Too bad our Ottoman allies got squished on the other end of the table.

Eh, I was happy enough with what happened on our side of the table.  ;) That was a fun game. I regret not being able to go to Ricocon this year.
