25 October 1899 - Turn 8

Orders

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

Joubert, Kock and Meyer will remain at Dannhauser.
De Wet and Botha will again attempt an attack on Ladysmith but this time will need a 4,5 or 6 to be successful.

Movement

White rolls a 2 and advances to Glencoe.
Yule rolls a 3 and arrives at Ladysmith

De Wet rolls a 3 and fails to attack.

The situation at the end of turn 8.


The crisis at Ladysmith has hopefully passed although it should be noted that Yule only brings with him the understrength King's Royal Rifles and 53rd Field Artillery and the garrison will still be outnumbered by the Boers.

  1. Very exciting stuff Ian! I let out a sigh of relief when De Wet rolled 3! Things are still looking good for the British!

  2. So more time to dig in and reinforce, De Wet will be sorry if he carries on.
    Merry Christmas Mr Botha!
