Indian Mutiny - A Sharp Practice Tale

This Sharp Practice tale is set in the 1857 Indian Mutiny where a group of civilians are trying to get to safety. However, the game quickly changed into a rescue mission, where a group of loyal natives ended up trapped in the building.

A group of sepoy rabble deployed on the road...

whilst a group of civilians raced along the riverbank hoping to help their comrades in the building.

Two groups of badmashes headed straight for the building.

The sepoy rabble continued along the road along with support from some skirmishers. Where were the British?

The sepoy rabble deployed into line and poured fire into the building, causing casualties.

 

The civilian skirmishers almost managed to reach the building but were being harassed by the mutinous skirmishers and were soon driven from the field.

 

The badmashes continued their advance on the building.

Hooray, the main British force had arrived and immediately deployed into a firing line.

The best sepoy troops however, had advanced too far and came under a murderous fire from the British line. Soon they were broken and running from the field. At this point it was looking like the British might pull off a victory.

However, the badmashes charged the few remaining loyal natives in the building, wiping them out. 

Meanwhile, the mutinous skirmishers turned their attention to the British line.

A firefight now ensued between the sepoy rabble and the British line. It was a race to seen who whould break first. Unfortunately for the British, their luck wasn't in and they retired from the field leaving the victorious mutineers to lick their wounds.

 

Infamy Infamy: Plunder & Pillage

This is the Slave revolt scenario from the 2024 TFL magazine where a Slave force is out to pillage a Roman farm, hoping to murder the local landowner as well. The landowner has a group of ten family/overseers to help him defend the farm whilst awaiting a relief force from the local town.

The slaves deployed en-mass ready to cross the river. 

 whilst the landowner readied to defend the farm.

The Roman relief force still hadn't shown up and the slaves were advancing rapidly on the farm. Things could get dicy very soon.

Hooray, shouted the landowner, as the Roman relief force finally turned up.

Unfortunately the slaves used their best troops to break down the farmyard door and sent their Gallic allies on a tour around the farm. The Romans charged in, resulting in a very protracted fight with handbags.

 However, soon the might of Rome was evident and the slaves started to break.

Back at the farm, the Slaves managed to break down the farmyard door with the landowner and remaining family retreating to one of the farm buildings, chased by a pack of hungry dogs.

The Roman force was now being distracted by the Gauls who had now circumvented the farmyard whist the herdsmen and their dogs broke into the farm building and murdered the landowner, thus winning the game.
