Latest game, played yesterday.
“Having failed to catch a German raiding force, the British Army was limping back to the wharf on the River Sowensow, where the Navy was waiting to embark them. Unbeknownst to the British, the Germans were lying in wait for them. Can the Army get through ? Will the Hun succeed ? Will the elephants strike again ??”
So we had four players and an umpire.
We used the Rebels and Patriots rules.
We had the British column limping back to base.
From the German side, this looked like a “target rich” environment.
It included porters, mules, and the latest British mobile radio mule mounted unit.
The Germans had set ambush positions on slight rises, either side of the road.
They waited patiently.
German machine gunners, waiting for the order to fire.
German forces were gathering, behind their gun positions.
German forces were also “liberating” the local village.
They would use this as their launching point.
The German guns opened up, as British forces began to fall and scatter.
The British column radioed the Navy, asking for support.
As the Naval troops prepared to support the column, the German sponsored elephants arrived
The Germans also called up their underwater division.
Hippos had a go at the British gun boat.
The German troops in the village must have been having a great time in the local village, as they never left it. Could have been down to my very poor dice rolling I guess.
British troops were no all over the place.
The rearmost Indian troops even turned, and fled AWAY from their base.
We now had some serious involvement from the local wildlife.
I would guess most of the local wildlife would run away from gunfire, but this lot, seemed to be drawn to it !
So there you have it.
British forces scattered across the battlefield.
A victorious German force.
The Navy never left their base.
Animals everywhere.
More like a bad day out at the Safari Park
Many thanks to Has.been for umpiring.
Many thanks to the gang for taking part, and we all left with a smile on our face.
Fun was had by all.
