Richard Hannay decides to go it alone and sneaks into cover using the sheep flock as decoy

The Ferraro Roccaian forces are being held up !

The opposing forces move further onto the table looking for clues .

The infantry find themselves confronting one another in a narrow pass 

Another event marker is revealed !  only a goat herd !

The Treborian commander and the Dragoons find another event marker - a  British poet/writer lost whilst looking for inspiration in the wilde (sic) and rugged scenery

The infantry open fire at each other

The cavalry exchange fire and there are casualties - some of them non military !

The Treborian  cavalry charge the the FR cavalry and destroy them and their CinC , the infantry firefight continues with heavy casualties on each side . Richard Hannay can be seen sneaking across the bottom of the photo to check out a marker in the heavy cover nearby.

He finds the marker and it reveals - Sir Morris Oxford and servant ! ( No I didn't cheat ! it was just as the card where drawn !)

Hannay and Sir Morris retreat into the heavy cover and leave the table as the battle comes to a end . The Treborian infantry retreat having suffered heavy casualties . The Ferraro  Roccaian forces retire having lost their CinC and cavalry unit also substantial infantry losses .

 The Envoy is back in British hands - but is he out of danger ?.........
