Boer War Scenarios

 Scenarios

I like the "objectives" idea in Blood and Steel but also feel it needs some scenarios that reflect the theatre  of operations.  I'll detail these as I game them.

1.  The Armoured Train

2.  The Blockhouse

3.  Piet's farm

4.  The drift

5.  The Kopje

6.  The Veldt

A quick Blood and Steel game.
This was Piets farm and I used my Zulu Kraal to represent it.
The farm goes into a table corner.  Boer women and children are reported to have laid tables of food to tempt Imperial patrols into an ambush.  
The Boer have one hidden unit and another three at a table edge adjacent to the farm.   

The objective, "liberate" the farm.

Boer firepower, three down.  2nd Lt Eustace Cummings and his Company are dumbfounded!

And the Imperials single hit fives does exactly nothing as the Boer shelter in the depression and save it.

This is towards the end of the game as the Boer volley from the tall grass.  Yet another loss for the Queens Own Loyal North Lancs'
