24 October 1899 - Turn 7

Orders

White's force at Waschbank will advance to attack the enemy at Dannhauser.
Yule's Brigade will continue to move to Ladysmith
Penn Symons will remain at Helpmakaar

Joubert, Kock and Meyer will stand and entrench their position at Dannhauser.
De Wet and Botha are aware that the garrison at Ladysmith is weak and on a die roll of 3,4,5 or 6 will launch an attack otherwise they will remain in position.

Movement

White rolls a 1 and remains at Waschbank.
Yule rolls a 3 and moves to Modder Spruit.

De Wet rolls a 1 and fails to attack!

The situation at the end of turn 7.


A frustrating turn for both sides but with luck Yule will arrive at Ladysmith next turn to bolster the garrison.

  1. Could the Boers be wrong-footed here?
    Ladysmith is there for the taking!

    1. Fortunately the Boers seem reluctant to take advantage of the situation at Ladysmith!

  2. Oh wow, De Wet's roll was fortunate indeed for the British! Things seem to be going right for her Majesty's troops! Cross your fingers Ian, and hope for this good luck to continue!
