Scenario 28: Botched Relief

 Army Red has received word that their enemy, Army Blue, have a force preparing to attack a poorly defended town. A relief force is dispatched. Regrettably it is commanded by General Factotum, known for his inability to make decisions. Apologies for the pictures; the lighting was very poor.

Starting positions

  The four Red units on the hill may only be activated one at a time, and only once the currently active unit has been eliminated.

Blue's assault on the town begins

Despite being under cover, Red's units in the town are taking hits

Blue moves a unit to the other end of the town while Red's unit from the hill is kept occupied

Blue's cavalry force their way into the town without loss!

Blue poised to take the town

The Town has been captured and Red's inertia means it cannot be retaken

Red's one active unit was destroyed in a last desperate attack. General Factotum sent a cavalry unit hurtling down to attack the Blue infantry out in the open, but it was too little too late; the day was lost. Modified Portable Wargame rules were used once again.
