« on: 17 August 2025, 07:20:28 PM »
1759 Sumatra ,French Compagnie des Indes ,under Comte d Estaing land to take Ft. Marlbourough in Bencoolen, . The English East india under Gov. Raffles sends forth a force to engage ,as not enough troops to hold the massive Vauban fort. New players ,nip and tuck ,but in the end after Comte d Estaings demise a narrow English victory.  Used Currycorne variant of Ken Bungers Tricorne,with added Random event cards. Loys of fun

Dayaks card didnt get pulled   and Figures are a hodge podge of Indus,Perry (Conversions),Foundry , Old Glory ,Front Rank, Mutineer,Empress, Eureka, one time commission Ed Phillips white uniformed Sepoys,Bi Corne ,Conquest and the late discontinued  Old London Warroom...whew. The Eureka miniatures  moulds are degrading and are special order ,just recieved some Mysore troops from Nic. Nobody does a complete line ,just bits.

Cracking looking game, great to see some SYW action away from Europe. Pity someone didn't make a complete range for this theatre. :)
