This week, I joined Jon, Adrian and Alastair to play Adrian's scenario 'take' on the Siege of Lucknow from the Indian Mutiny. The game was played using Adrian's 15mm armies, and his beautiful buildings and terrain.
 |
| The British forces deployed defending the walls |
 |
| The CinC, and some of the civilians to be protected |
 |
| The attacking forces advance |
 |
| The first breach in the walls, and the first assault |
 |
| An attack against an intact section of the wall |
 |
| The defenders took serious casualties, and withdrew to the hasty works that formed the second line of defence |
 |
| The attackers assault the second line |
 |
| It got ugly |
 |
| And the inner defences were breached |
 |
| British casualties were horrendous |
Adrian and another group had fought this scenario once before, and it resulted in a British victory. In our case, the attackers (Jon and Alastair) were 'on fire' with their die rolling. The British casualties were horrendous, and we were given one of those 'serious thrashings' All the same, it was a 'bloody good game'.
