The Most colonial Colonial Battle of All Time!

On Saturday night I was very pleased to have a game with my brother Sgt. Strange.  Hopefully this will be the first of many more to come.    Since we both love 54mm, out came the Britains.  And with such a mix of disparate figures, it was decided that an epic colonial battle would be most fitting.   The setting was somewhere in one of the occupied terrorities, mid-19th century.  The oppressed peoples have united together once and for all to chase the imperial invaders out of their land(s). 

The battle began with the Native calvary advancing on both flanks, and Native infantry surging forward in the centre.  Imperial fire was strong, but so was the iron will of the Native troops.

The Native horsemen easily overwhelmed the enemy's left flank and proceeded to roll up the rear of the pasty Imperialists.  On the right flank the calvary battle was a bit more even, especially when the Invaders' calvary reserve was thrown into the fray. 

 In the end, only one fighter remained.

 With the flanks secured, now came the time for the expected charge on the centre of the Imperialist line.

However, the Native Foot suffered tremendous casualities and were unable to break through.  It was just as well, since my brother had to head home at this point anyway.    All in all, a wonderful game.    The rules were a modified version of The Sword and The Flame.
