So it’s been a month or so since our last game.
I’ve been working overseas, so we threw a plan together to have another game of Indian Mutiny, using the TMWWBK rules as normal.
This finally happened yesterday in sweltering heat in the bunker. That just added to the Indian flavour.
Also a bottle of cold Indian Pale Ale, was shared by all to get us going.
So here we have an encounter battle in the Indian Monument Valley.
Has been brought along some super little items that he has amassed from garden centres, that were used to line the road as Indian monuments.
It also game me my first chance to use my masses of jungle that have never seen the light of day before.
The British massed on the right of the table.
The revolting Indians masses on the left hand side of the table.
Let battle commence.
I was commanding half the British force along with Dicemaster Garry.
Last time I played I was caught out by advancing far too quickly, so this time I held my ground and pounded away with my artillery.
This allowed Garry to advance on our right flank.
Now between me and you this was very odd, as Garry is not renowned for advancing (I think the heat and the free flowing beer got to him
)
So with Garry advancing on our right, and with him even sending cavalry into the jungle to chase out the enemy (unheard of until today ), I was slowly being crept up on, by Has been’s nutter unit, until they appeared behind me and started cutting my Warwickshire unit to ribbons.
Garry’s cavalry, off into the jungle.
My Warwickshire’s caught napping.
The British forces finally rallied and drove off the mutineers, and after far too many bacon butties, and beer I think it turned out to be a good day for all.
I hope you enjoy the write up, and once again, my nan’s old table cloth played a major part in the game.
Turned out nice again.
