As promised the 2nd report:
Scenario 2: The Prussian RevengeFollowing the kidnapping of Dr. Lebensräum the Prussian Commander in Chief has been furious leading to
daily outrages at his subordinates.
In order to set the record straight General Ubervollgas has decided to try and counter kidnap the wife of
the British commander in the area where Dr. Lebensräum was taken .
This may or may not seem a very well thought out plan to some, but Udo Ubervollgas is a very sensitive
man and the need to exact revenge is greater than anything.
When Udo learns that Lord Cornwall and his wife are being escorted close to his area, he chooses to strike.
Setup and Special Circumstances:6x4’ table.
The game takes place in the rocky outcrops just north of the jungle area. There is not much but sand, rock
and smaller rocks in the area.
The British place their line of vehicles along the center line (long edges) of the table. Infantry will be
marching in column. The tractor with the wife of Lord Cornwall will setup up in the exact center of the
board.
All British engines counts as activated (they’re already going).
Until the first Prussian is spotted the British are not allowed to change formation or break their march.
The Prussians are lying in wait and ready to ambush. Their vehicles are covered in ad hoc camouflage and
not yet activated (no steam). They’re allowed to set up 10’’ into the table (long edges). All units count as
hidden until they move or fire.
Objectives:The British must attempt to protect the wife of Lord Cornwall. She must exit the table at either short end.
The Prussians must capture the wife of Lord Cornwall and exit the table with her at either long end.

Overview of the battle field.
The unsuspecting British move along as a long line through the Indian plains.
The cunning Prussians have hidden their vehicles by the road side, using clever camouflage mind tricks.
A deadly new unobtainium powered rifle will make up for the Prussian lack of heavy guns in India at this point. At least that is the theory.
There are three Unfindbarium Jägers teams hidden in ambush in total.
After this team fired their first salvo, they were immediatly attacked by Sikh cavalry!! The horror!
The target of the unobtainium rays was not even dented properly
All hell breaks loss and the Prussians storm forward.
Chaaarge!
Another overview. Total chaos ensues.
Fighting is mainly rifle line vs rifle line at this point. But suddenly the Prussians race forward towards the tractor holding their prize.
A lucky shot from the Jägers makes the tractor malfunction and full reverse. It had almost gotten away.
The Prussian steam tank was not really working WITH the Prussians this time. Failing to get the kettle heated three times in a row... hmm!
Indian baggage haulers throw down their loads and start a fisticuff with the proud Prussian soldiers.
An Indian Overseer oversees....
... the carnage of a Prussian kidnapping!
5 lucky strikes and no saves means that the Prussians get the door open and get Lord Cornwalls wife out of the car.
The British however do not seem happy about the situation and counter attack.
Prussian unit is erradicated. Hmm!
Overview again.. The troops are dying!
Together with the steam walker a 2nd Prussian unit manages to get some Brits knocked over.
The wife is yet again on Prussian hands... or the Prussian hands are on the wife? Who knows!
As time runs out for Lord Cornwall and his troops the Prussian steam tank finally kicks int action and leaps forward.
It is close to a draw. Both sides are tired from the fighting and the dead and wounded litter the area.
It is decided by Udo Ubervollgas and Lord Cornwall to settle the battle in a gentlemanly duel of the swords!
Tensions draws as the duel drags on for minutes (oh well 3 combat rounds anyway) until Udo manages to grace Lord Cornwall with his sword drawing first blood, by which token the Lord has lost the duel and the battle.
