Dear Gran.
Our column managed to catch the retreating mutineers and forced them to fight a rear-guard action, both sides deployed with infantry and cavalry facing their opposite numbers.
Our infantry advance to sort those dastardly mutineer infantry who were skulking in around some trees while I cautiously advanced my cavalry, the tempting thing was to charge their guns but after the fiasco in the Crimea a few years ago I thought better of it and I knew as soon as I engaged their guns then I’d be charged by their horse, so I let the infantry do what they are paid to do, namely the hard work. While the mutineer foot took on our foot their cavalry moved not an inch, most likely overawed by our splendid horse. As the cannon duel went in our favour I started to advance our horse with the intent of engaging their horse but sadly night drew in and the mutineers skulked away under the cover of darkness.
Yours
Commander Archibald Laidlaw III

Lovely stuff, tempted to get the indian mutiny foundry...but i'm sure they will not fit alongside the new empress stuff...ah well, also you may want to repost this in the Colonial adventures section.

Kommando I will stick on a pic of the Foundry alongside the Empress figs when I get a chance.
Most of the figs were bought from Jack Glanville many many moons ago.
