Game Three Saturday Afternoon
The British and Colonials entered the long table edges closer to the canoes and quickly made the tree lines to start firing on the Natives as they left the cover of the houses. One warrior scaled the tower to get a look around and was Shaken by a shot from the woods, then failed his Rally test on his next turn and fled the field!
The Rangers moved in quickly to fire the village and the Native response was up close and personal. Shooting started at close range with the Natives getting the worst of the early exchanges.
Then Special Event #1 occurred. . . a light rain began to fall. The Rangers were stoking the fires they started, but the rain slowed progress and even made it a little more difficult to start fires. It wasn't a hard rain but it was damned inconvenient. . .
Native casualties were mounting, but a couple of warriors made it to the canoes, just about the time (3 turns later; Special Event #2) that everyone discovered their powder had become too wet to spark. There would be no more shooting the rest of the game!
A literal hatchet-fest ensued. While the British tried valiantly to start more fires, the Natives rushed the hated enemy to hinder their efforts and add more points to their trophy poles.
Special Event #3 was a heavy smoke that settled upon the village, decreasing visibility, which only added insult to injury since combat was all at arms' length anyway. The warrior in the foreground below was shot three times before a hatchet blow ended his attempt to crawl into the bushes and escape!
When time was called the British had burned down three of the village houses and killed more Natives than they lost. It was the best British performance so far. When we totaled up the points we found the British had lost by eleven points. . . ten of which were scored when those two warriors exited via the canoes - one was the Chief!
Native victory, but what a contest! And yes, the British Light Infantry got mauled again.
Stay tuned for Part Four, the final battle!
