I realise I have a bad habit of only posting the initial parts of battles and then attracted by other things go off on a tangent . I posted the start of this battle here Tin Soldiering On: Cleansing the wargaming room . (tonystoysoldiers.blogspot.com) took more photos, then forgot about it as my mind fluttered onto other distractions - however I have retrieved the photos and here's the completion . The 'Red' Army Hussars having been shot to pieces from the redoubt and the artillery but passing all there morale checks charged the 'Blue' Army Hussars 2-6 odds and routed them ! - they failed to rally and fled the table ! .
Worse was to follow for the 'Blue' Army - the Ghurkas stormed the Artillery position slaughtering the gunners .
While this was going on the 'Blue' Army Spy (in the guise of a clergyman) was busy stealing bonus activation cards from the 'Red' Army H.Q.
Ultimately he was found out and lead away to an uncertain fate .
In the center the Highlanders stormed the redoubt , 'Blue' Army was hampered by a poor run of activation cards which allowed the enemy to move at will .
This allowed the Naval Brigade party to place the 'Infernal Device'
And scurry away before it explodes ! , at this point 'Blue' Army reinforcements arrived - far to late to do anything though .
It explodes demolishing the fortification !
The 'Blue' Army Infantry manage to drive off the Ghurkas and recapture the gun , but after a successful mission the 'Red' Army slips away unhindered . Another great game using 'A Gentleman's War' rules , the 'Blue' Army was unlucky with the activation cards and the tardiness of their reinforcements which gave an easy win to the 'Reds' .
