Ran the second playtest last night with a couple of tweaks to help keep the game moving. Here are a couple of images form the game.
Some Turk Nazim make it to the wall and begin pouring through the undefended gate. A British Rolls Royce finally arrived to try and stem the tide, but by this time it was too late. The failure of the British to bring their reinforcements on for two turns, gave the Turks too much time to get in position.

A unit of ANZACS attempts to hold the flank against Arab and Turk units. They held quite well, but at 50% strength, they did not have the numbers to hold for long.

The biggest scrum on the field. Australian Light Horse and Bengali Lancers charge the camel-mounted Arabs. The British would eventually win that fight, but they were tied up too long in the battle and unable to help in other places.

The Union Jack stood tall beside the ANZACs against the Germans. Many men fell trying to take that wall. If the British had been able to get a unit in position at the center, they could have stemmed the Central tide. So, though the flanks held, the middle collapsed.

A stonking read, Rich! Must have been a hell of a game.
