Scenario 9: Double Delaying Action

Scenario 9 is another action that involves removing units from the table by a single exit point at specified times. For anyone who doesn't have the book, Red must exit one unit at turns 4, 8 and 12, by the road at the top (or North) of the board. Blue must stop this or finish turn 15 in complete control of the "town" and having exited two units of his own. There is also the matter of the Exhaustion Point to contend with.

Opening Positions

Army Red dominates the "town"

Army Blue sends half its force to take ford and out flank the enemy

Early moves see a softening up process

Blue's hussars push across the ford

Casualties mount

Blue pushes forward

Slow progress assaulting the "town"

Red blocks the road whilst his artillery exit at Turn 8

Blue's Cuirassiers rush to engage the Guards

Red Line Infantry abandon their defensive position unsuccessfully attempting to block the Cuirassiers

Blue rushes to take the "town" but must also stop Red exiting another unit

Rather predictably Blue reaches Exhaustion Point at Turn 11

Red's 3rd unit disengages and exits at Turn 12 and Blue cannot follow
