A small (4 unit) Blue force has infiltrated Red territory and must exit 2 units via the opposite base line before Red's larger (6 unit) force can stop it.
Blue arrives on the Southern base line on turn 1. Red has only 1 unit on the table at the start of the game.
(Due to the pre-Christmas clear-up, I am unable to currently locate most of my scenery - the sand represents a road. The dense mass of mismatched trees represents an impenetrable wood)
 |
| Blue sends one unit against the Red unit on the hill |
 |
| Blue is not doing well and two more Red units have arrived on their baseline |
 |
| Blue has lost one unit by the end of Turn 4 |
 |
| Having disposed of the Red unit on the hill, Blue must now engage the new arrivals |
 |
| Turn 6 and the remaining Red troops arrive - is it too late for Blue to escape? |
 |
| Red closes in |
 |
| Blue has two units left, the minimum required to reach their objective |
 |
| One Blue Unit is on the baseline but involved in combat while the other is close to defeating their opponents |
 |
| Disaster - with only one unit left Blue cannot win |
Another fun looking game Jack, quite a tall order for blue having to exit half their force.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr Sprinks - very tough for Blue indeed!
DeleteA tough one for blue there!! Was this one OHW combats, Rifle and Sabre, but a grid for movement? Resourceful road replacement,
ReplyDeleteMJT 👍🏼.
Yes OHW rules but modified to a grid. Perhaps on a 3 foot x 3 foot tabletop (as per the book) there'd be more room to get over the enemy base line?
