BFE 2: Indian Mutiny 1st Try

Desperate Fighting at the Granary

Our first time playing an Indian Mutiny game, using 15mm Blue Moon figures along with modified Battle For Empire 2 charts. The game was a British attack to cut off a rebel held city, so the two objectives were a series of entrenchments near a crossroads and a granary on the outskirts of a village. The British started their attack, then ran into heavy resistance on the left, not to mention some light woods that constrained maneuver. On the right, the rebels launched a series of determined results that were barely repulsed several times. The British firepower, however, was the determining factor, although trying to launch attacks without being able to fire and move in the same turn (using muskets) made things difficult for the attacker. In the end the British were victorious, but it was a difficult fight that could easily have gone the other way. The rules and charts probably need a few tweaks, so we'll work on that. We already have 25 units with a target of around 30, so there's more painting to go!
