Imperial firepower in the beginning was anything but powerful. Abysmal dice throws by the Bombay Miners/Sappers and the<br />one company of Seaforths were on the very low end; 2D6 = 3s and 4s. Ouch! Shocking actually.<br />---<br />Plus the Tugs massed fire into the thin defense/defence took out a lot of the lads in the beginning.<br />---<br />After this, Gen. Pettygree arrived on the scene, ordered everyone into close order so the close order rapid fire bonus could be utilized. That helped a great<br />deal. Good ol' Pettygree for that! He knew the rules.<br />---<br />Then the rest of the Seaforths came forward and the scales tipped in favor of HM soldiers. I breathed easier only at that moment.<br />---<br />It was a close run thing. <br />---<br />A bit of an anti-climax too as correspondent Mike B. wrote to me elsewhere. No argument there. As he infers, the indigenous foes might want to try something besides a frontal attack. That has not worked so far. In their defense though, each prior time, it seemed only one turn separated them from a stunning victory.<br />---<br />Colonial games should be close run things though. I was also very glad the elephant battery had crossed the river already. A stampede would have made for a very bad day and a very different story-ending.<br />---<br />Thank you Sirs,<br />BillGalliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258909398832285314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041377480802719591.post-31226628258314160002009-08-11T10:17:58.848-05:002009-08-11T10:17:58.848-05:00I love the terrain and figures!

I would add a 4th - Laurel and Hardy's "Bonnie Scotland". It's a comedy, but also pays homage to some of the classics like Gunga Din and Bengal Lancer. (I might be a bit prejudiced - the forces of Saxe-Urquhart are led by a certain Col.
