The Devons are finished and based ready for action. There are 24 riflemen plus the usual 3 officer figures to make my standard British infantry unit establishment. This brings the total number of British infantry regiments to four which must surely be enough to beat the Boers?
That’s probably it for the British forces now but I will add another Commando to the Boers at some point just to be fair.
I’m hoping to play a solo game of Talana Hill soon but just need to complete some scenic items first.

Looking good....but...no bayonets fixed? When they attack, they're not really going to try outshooting the Boers are they?
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Ross, plenty of time yet to fix bayonets!
DeleteFour regiments enough? It was thinking like that lost us Magersfontein! I look forward to you testing your theory but I will enjoy saying I told you so.
ReplyDeleteYou may have a point Rob!
DeleteA stirring sight. Enough to make the Boer run at the first opportunity!
ReplyDeleteThat's the hope Matt, I'm even introducing a scenario specific rule for Talana which may result in some of the Boers running away the first time they are under shell fire - sneaky but historically justifiable!
DeleteNice work there IAN on the Devons- very well done. Looking forward to your Solo Battle of Talana Hill report. I like your figures and terrain. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kev, I'm just completing some buildings for the game and then I'll be ready to play.
