With nothing in their way the left columm makes it way towards the bridge screened by hedges and fencing:



The casualties are mounting on the right hand column, but it absorbs the damage and moves closer...



Seeing the Guildford Cricketers engaged against their Jaeger friends the Prussians charge into their flank.



Somewhat surprised by the sudden appearance of the Prussians the Guildford Cricketers decide to run with the Prussians hot on their heels!



At this point things fall apart for the British, the gun team flees closely followed by the 2nd Royal Surrey Volunteers. The  Illustrated London News team decide now is not the time to stay and take more photographs and they also run!





The Prussians have the bridge!

Part Two. "Effingham Junction" coming soon.....

Stiff upper lip that man! More British pluck required to crush these Proosians!

Beautiful figures, scenery and concept.

The rules are a modified version of Rebels and Patriots with changes made by Silent Invader here on LAF. (He is documenting his German invasion games on the Big Battles board.)
