The Treborian forces push through the village driving the militia before them . A Treboian secret agent sneaks up on the FR militia .
He hurls an 'infernal device' , causing devastation in the militia ranks . Major Velkro confronts the Treborian agent -
and is gunned down (both needed 6's to hit - Velkro threw 342 Agent 166- Velkro did not make the required saving throws !) .
The last of the Ferraro Roccain Household Guard is shot down , The Treborian Staff Officer races up the winding steps to the tower door - shoots the lock off and releases the Envoy and his manservant.
The battle rages below the tower , as the FR reserves march onto the table, with only limited forces left the Treborians will not be able to make it back to the docks and are forced to spirit Sir Morris into the woods, their flight covered by the few remaining British Legione and the Hussars of Excellance .
Sir Morris Oxford is free ! - BUT for how long !? . Interestingly this is the second time I have played this game , the first time with my gaming colleague 'S' (I forgot to take any photos - due to the excitement ) and both games turned out with the same end . A Treborian victory but with horrendous casualties.
Splendid report.
ReplyDeleteHurrah, what an excellent adventure!
ReplyDeleteSo enjoyable and well illustrated report of an exciting 'Pulp in Ruritania'-type game!
ReplyDeleteIf I may put forward a suggestion: since your blog covers diverse era and approaches, it would be user-friendly to 'label' your posts by 'period' (FLW and 'Historical' or 'Napoleonic, e.g.?). Don't be misled by the 'diary' aspect of a blog: with time it will become a library of references, precious for the veteran visitor and the newcomer alike, and labels would make exploration of your archives so easier.
