What comes next - specifically that is - is now in my thoughts.<BR/>--------------- <BR/>For Steve, <BR/>Casualty numbers are in my plans for the next chapter. Thank you for mentioning this.<BR/>----------------<BR/>For Col. Campbell and Der Alte, <BR/>I thought the garrison was close to being doomed as Der Alte mentions regarding photo # 102. I was anxious about it. However, immediately after this photo, two of the three attacking units lost morale due to heavy losses. The third infantry unit, the swordsmen just coming near, actually did not lose morale. <BR/><BR/>I lost morale - for them. I figured they would get decimated if alone. "To what purpose?" Gone were two rifle and musket units plus the cavalry. <BR/><BR/>The swordsmen might have taken the inner works but after that there would be the buildings to capture. I imagined waves breaking over rocks. Water slides off and the rocks remain. <BR/><BR/>This could have been the report back to the Supreme leader. We took Tranjapour but have only ten men left. Not good.<BR/><BR/>Better to fight another day.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>BillGalliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258909398832285314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041377480802719591.post-66961179006883768422008-12-08T23:04:00.000-06:002008-12-08T23:04:00.000-06:00Wow, photo #102 was especially nerve wrecking.
