The TransCaspian Episode - a LoEK battle report

[Ignatieff]

Uncle Yuri in his Junkers ground attack aircraft joins the fray!  The 1st Special Action Brigade is being cut to ribbons by the rail junction, but help is on its way in the guise of Zimmermans German and Austrian ex-POWs.  A close look shows that they have not been idle in captivity, and have turned their hand to producing some traditional Bavarian costumes!!!

Turcomen cavalry on the allied right supported by the might of RFC!

[Ignatieff]

Sorry, but I just love this armoured train.....and you can see the Bolo railway workers attempting an Ulm like flanking manoeuvre, waaaaaay out on the left

Right, thats it for the moment. The game at this stage had got to the end of move 2.  More photos when the good Dr.Blackwood finds the time in-between being a spy (in-joke) for Queen and country.....

Note the fat man with the pink parasol awaiting the 11.19 to Krasnavodsk

I know that man. I have seen him in many, many games.

Lurking.. I ever feel he is up to no good.

Simply spellbinding

Was that his train?

Was that his train?

Yes, but with standing room only he was going to struggle!  (The carriages were crammed with more Bolos)

Love the idea of the armored train rocketing across the board unable to stop or effectively engage! I can only imagine the face of the poor fellow running it when he realized his dilemma.

It was the Dalai, in the unfamiliar guise as a Bolo. I guess the technology confused him....

I take it the train was not powered by yak dung then?

[FramFramson]

What a great game so far... 

[Remington]

Well, that was definitely worth the wait!!! Spectacular game! Thank you, Steve!
