Catterick Garrison Vs Imperial Defence Force - Cross

Image
Turn 1: The Catterick Garrison must get across this piece of enemy territory to get a vital message through. In the north Cpl Price is struck down by a shot from the ever alert fascist Sgt Flack, and the rest of his machinegun group dive for cover in the hedge. In the south L/Cpl Mead leads the rest of the section into the trees. Turn 2: The Catterick Garrison continue to advance, and hearing shots fired the Imperial Defence force come scrambling out of the woodwork. Pte Cooke nicks Constable Hopwood in the leg as he dashes across a gap in the hedges.  On the other flank Pte Owen with his lewis gun and the rest of the gun group set up a formidable base of fire, pinning all three of the fascists sheltering in and around the cottage.  Turn 3: unable to see each other over the thick hedge, Constable Murphy and L/Cpl Mead's half section both advance over open ground, on the verge of colliding.  Turn 4: Bringing his men up to the hedge Mead is confronted by the fascist constab...

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.

Isandlwana

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. In mere seconds half the brits are gone.  The naval officer...
