Been fishing. Time to finish up the narrative on my latest game.
The Natives finally launched a coordinated attack against both the Zariba and troops in the open.
The attacks were repulsed by a combination of good (Colonials) and bad (Tribal) die rolls. The Africans will be flayed by rifle fire while attempting to rally. Notice the Arab Band unable to get it together in the upper right corner of the photo.
The Arab contingent finally swung into action, making quick work of the small Askari unit detached from the main body of the relief force. However, their attempt to assault the Zariba from the rear was shattered by accurate Askari rifle fire.
The Regulars and Askaris now decimated the pinned Native and Arab units, which were unable to rally and charge back into close contact. Very few remained on the field at the end of the engagement.
An entertaining game. I’ll follow-up with some thoughts on the rules in my next post.
