Imperial Defence Force & City of York Militia Vs Catterick Garrison - Counter Attack

Image
The confused maelstrom of the second British civil war sometimes makes for strange bedfellows. In this scenario the fascist Imperial Defence Force and socialist City of York Militia have temporarily joined forces to destroy an armoured fighting vehicle belonging to the Catterick Garrison.  An initial mortar barrage keeps the army regulars heads down, allowing the fascists to get within spitting distance of a house. Pte Owen with the lewis gun downs a few of the onrushing blackshirts before he and L/Cpl Mead are wounded by a spray of shotgun pellets and quickly captured. On the other flank Henry catches Pte Cooke unawares and puts a pistol round through his arm. The Catterick Garrison's Bren carrier rolls onto the battlefield, but the crew are forced to 'button up' As bullets from Tim's scoped rifle whizz by, missing them by inches. Turn 2: Pte's Everest and Frost open up from the other house, but are soon pinned down in a plethora of rifle fire. George makes a dash ...

In this game we are fighting out the closing moments of Isandlwana. The British have suffered a calamitous defeat and this handful of survivors are attempting to flee across fugitives drift and escape the pursuing Zulu's.  The naval officer whirls around, takes aim at his pursuer.... and his revolver goes click.. click.. click.. without missing a beat the zulu hurls his assegai straight into the man's shoulder. Another wave of Zulu's come dashing into the drift. Two brits hare away through the rocks, whilst the rest turn in an attempt to beat them back. This rifleman bravely fences with his bayonet, bringing down one Zulu before he is overpowered by the other two. As the Zulu spear thrower closes in for the kill, the naval officer whips out his sword and cuts the man down. The redcoat fires at point blank range into the thick press, but the fallen man's comrades deftly leap over the body and press their attack.

Turn 1: The City of York Militia are searching the area for some key intelligence documents. They must find the documents cached next to one of the blue tokens and then escape with them, under the noses of the fascist Imperial Defence Force. Mike leads his group along the edge of the house whilst Leo advances the gun group up the road into the cover of the hedges. Mildred and Steven have been dispatched on a flanking manoeuvre to the north.  An Imperial Defence Force constable is caught napping up against the brick wall. Mildred dispatches him before he can bring his deadly shotgun to bear at close range. Mildred ducks as a shot rings out from the house, but no more follow. Inside Constable Grubb curses at his jammed rifle. The militiaman on the road comes under fire as two more Fascists, Constables Varley and Bracket, pop up from behind the wall in the center.  Turn 2: Mike orders George and Henry to dash across the road and search for the objective. But as soon as they leave...
