Well the whole game revolved around this as an objective so I needed a suitably imposing model,but I haven't finished my  mdf piece so I had to use this one!

Tonight's game,Rebels and Patriots once again.
Pics 1 and 2 show the starting forces.
Pic 3 the Rebel battery after taking casualties from Neil's Bluecaps sharpshooters but not before the gunners had caused the Sikhs to break and flee the game.
Pic 4 the end is near for the mutineers.
Pic 5 the victorious 84th capture the guns and giving the Brits a 4 nil win,but not before losing their officer to a volley from the matchlock men prior to the assualt on the battery.
Another fun game with a result that felt right historically, the Enfield armed troops causing morale tests on the sepoys and pushing them back from the guns and the Brit shock unit storming the battery and giving them the win.

Lovely stuff.
I have played my first Reb. & Pats. game (ACW), liked it.
Will be playing a multiplayer ACW after Easter.
I too have Indian Mutiny figures & will certainly follow your
example & give Reb. & Pats. a try.
Have been using The men Who Would be Kings (same stable of rules).

Had another great game with Romark last week, here's my take on the proceedings.
Last weeks game set in India during the Mutiny, playing the capture the guns scenario from the R&P rulebook.
The Indian troops deploy first with two medium guns (6pts each) and a Line unit (4pts) on a central hill and another two Line units on their base line.
The British then deploy with a large (18fig) Sepoy Line unit (5pts) to the fore supported by a large British shock unit (8pts) and flanked by two skirmish sharpshooter units (6pts each)
The Brits got an extra point because their Officer was the Generals favourite nephew.

[Jeff965]

The initial moves went badly wrong for the Brits with the Sepoy unit taking two rounds of Artillery fire and buggering off a bit sharpish, however at least accurate skirmish fire started to tell on the Indian artillery.
Then the tide turned, as the shock troops moved forward they rolled a double six for activation and a six on the events chart which brought on 4pts of reinforcements in the form of a 12 figure Sepoy unit so the attack was back on.

[Jeff965]

By now the artillery was all but wiped out, a charge from the shock infantry finished them off, and long range accurate skirmish fire also did for one of the mutineer line units.
With the guns gone the skirmishers turned their deadly fire on the mutineer infantry, however a close range volley from the matchlock men managed to push the British infantry back off the hill but it was not enough.
