The British lost a total of 45 figures during the battle which was quite a way under their break-point of 67. The losses to the Boers, whilst smaller, are probably more critical including the Long Tom and a Pom-Pom wiped out. The breakdown of casualties is given below:
I carried out die rolls for casualty recovery and then redistributed figures from disbanded units to other units as follows:
 |
| 9 figures from the King's Liverpool were added to the Gloucesters and the remaining 6 to the Manchesters. |
 |
| 3 figures from the German Corps were added to the Boksburg Commando. |
Having totted up all the VPs for both sides incredibly it stands at a draw of 15VPs each!
I hope to return to the campaign in the future but for the moment I will be taking a break. Thanks for your interest and all the comments as these really do help motivate me in a solo project like this.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
Sign me up for Season 2!
