The Brits having had their Officer wounded but carried safely from the field made one last push for the guns with the Sikh Sepoys and British shock troops charging one each just as the skirmish fire managed to cause the last two mutineer units to fall back, a Brit win hurrah!!!
Good game, simple rules that seem to give enough historical flavour to make me feel the units acted as they would have and you can't ask much more than that. :)

enjoyable report and lovely pictures,

having bought troops for the period, I am curious why you are using Rebels and Patriots opposed to the Men who would be Kings. I have both of them and they are both nice rule sets and basically shares the same engine, so I am just curious about the preference or the former.

Hi,thanks for your comments :)
I too have both these sets of rules,however,
I think that R and P is more of a Horse and Musket game,these rules,to my view of the period,just seem to suit the Mutiny better and the game results seem to reflect my idea of how the battles should turn out.
I also prefer the 12 dice at full strength and 6 dice at half strength mechanism over that used in the TmwwbK rules.
Just my opinion of course :)

Cheers

Keith

Another game using Rebels and Patriots Osprey rules tonight.
This time the Widow Creek Bridge scenario,set once more in India during the Mutiny.
Pic 1.Nana Sahib and his troops prepare to deny the bridge to the British.
Pic 2 Strong British force,under command of Lt.the Honourable Hugh Pugh.
Pic 3 Nana's officer trait for this game was "Ruthless",meaning in pursuit of personal glory any troops he was attached to had to be given Attack orders on any enemy unit within 12'',not ideal if you are supposed to be defending the bridge behind hard cover!
Pic 4 True to form Nana Sahib's sepoys charge the loyal sepoys.
Pic 5.Oops! No more sepoys or Nana.
Pic 6 More of Nana's troops advance onto the bridge.
Pic 7 Too many British for them to contend with and they were driven off for a British victory,hurrah!
Out of shot the Sepoy skirmishers did cause heavy casualties on the Loyal sepoys but not enough to break them before the bridge was carried.
Another good game with these rules with the action swaying in favour of one side then the other.
