Randi and the planned 18 scenarios

Randi Ram






The planned 18 scenarios 







Randi and the Sacred Goat of Bhuna
Oh gentle reader, sitting in your Britisher coffee shop, let me take you back to the Raj, to the hero of the Ram, a man of humble and pretty useless beginnings.  Let me tell you the tale of the Randi Ram.

Randi and the Fort at Pornomalee
Where Mr Lt. Grahame takes his company to the outpost at Pornomalee to evict Tante Tooh and his Badmasher rebels.

Randi and the Return to Pornomalee
Randi and the Typhoo Sultan's Big Choppers

Randi and the Mad Fakir

Randi and the Sergeants three
the 2nd Madras had among their  establishment three Britisher Sergeants.  Sgt. Grant, Sgt. McLaglan and Junior Sergeant Fairbanks.  They were the doers of dirty jobs.  The boys sent out whilst the Officers drank pink gin.  It`s Randi Ram meets Gunda Din!

Greetings Sahibs,
from Randi Ram,

Sepoy of the 2nd Madras regiment of the honourable East India Company.  Mr Kipling from Glorious England, journalist for the Queeg herself, has  agreed to write my story down.

I joined the regiment in 1784 at the youthful age of 15.  My real name was Ranji, but the Sergeant called me Randi after seeing me chase a  goat from the parade ground at Fort George one morning. It is a sahib joke I think.

My first real skirmish was under the sahib Ensign Beaumont, who we all
called Gloria.
ur section of ten were escorting a gun being taken into Bhuna, to a fort
the Glorious British had built.  The Dahl of Bhuna was much annoyed at this place and
as we approached a village just inside the madras borders we were traitorously attacked. 
Badmash villians attacked us.

Ensign Gloria
Forces Involved
The 2nd Madras are led by Ensign Gloria, of whom there are dire rumours.  He is said to wear a sari in his spare time and his irresolute nature translates to his men.  Still Gloria is a British Officer and a little madness always impresses the rankers of the 2nd Madras.  He is a Level 2 big man.  the Ensign commands a single section of ten men, but is supported by a Havildar, Haidar Sikh, Level 1 Big Man.
The gun crew are under a Lance Naik, Jaymin Gost, five men, a driver and four bullocks, with an additional bullock cart for ammunition.
The Native forces are commanded by the bandit chief Tante Tooh, an old enemy of the 2nd Madras. He is a follower of the "Sacred Goat," an odd cult local to the western border of Madras.  he is a level 2 Big man.  he is less than ably assisted by the Little Bhuna, son of a local ruler.  There is much competition from his fourteen brothers for this rank, and the 2nd madras have to this date killed four previous Little Bhunas.  He is a Level 1 Big man
After Turn 3 reinforcements may arrive in the form of The Bhuna of Dahl himself, from the road to the west leading ten native horse.
The Terrain
The tiny village of Badass has a walled tope on the approach road, and three buildings, two tiny and one larger.  The Badmashes may hide in any of these, or in the tope itself.  The village is in a valley and the Badmashes may choose to appear on a hilltop, but this is difficult going.   


The game ended with the Bhuna facing down the barrel of the cannon.  his horse were smashed by cannister.  Mr Gloria was wounded, and placed in a Dhoolie for transport back to ft George.  The Havidar saved the day.  He was later promoted to Jemadar. 
What a shot!
