A return to Sharp Practice, this time the French and Indian Wars using Jerry's wonderful figures and terrain. Dave took the British, I had the French and Jerry had the Natives allied to the French. The objective was for the Natives to get a group of captives off table:
Trees, a river and some rocky/marshy ground:
Some British colonist skirmishers arrive looking for the captives:
The first of the Natives scouts ahead:
British Rangers move to cut off the Natives:
The first of the French appear, some Marines:
They move quickly to try to support the Natives:
They hope to catch the Rangers before they can turn round:
The Natives attempt to move the captives but are attacked by Colonists:
The Natives are wiped out and the captives rescued:
The Marines push through the forest:
More colonists attempt to cross the river but are scattered by the sudden appearance of an angry grizzly bear:
The French have killed a few of the Rangers but the captives are well on their way to safety:
The French give up and retire to try again another day:
A wonderful looking game with Jerry's excellent scenery and figure collection on display, especially as we played the game at the club! The British quickly overwhelmed the Natives and my French failed to give them much support leading to recriminations from both of the allies about whose fault it was!
