Arresting the Mayor of Seedorf, Red vs Blue

Turn 4
The Mayor of the nearest town is another traitor.
Local Militia close the town in the enemies name.
The Earl of Brent commanding 1st brigade sends his Squadron of Red Hussars to arrest the Mayor.

Red Forces

1.  Hussars Lieutenant Charlie Hawtrey
One group 8 Hussars
In support
2.  Rifles Sergeant Terrance Scott

1 Group Rifles

3.  Rifles Lieutenant Quentin von Wießmehr. (Nicknamed the Fidgeting Midget)

1 Group Rifles

The town of Seedorf.

Filled with Civilians.  until the event chip comes out I won`t know which is the mayor.

Hawtrey and his Red Hussars.  Ok so not painted except for blocking.  An afternoon of detailing needed on these.

And Sergeant Scott deploys with his group.  No sign of his Officer.

Blue dragoons deploy on foot to take cover behind the wall

Scott and his Rifles exchange fire with the Dragoons.  No contest really

Two dragoons killed two shock

The Event Chip arrives just after Blue deploy a squadron of Mounted dragoons.

The Mayor is spotted in conversation with an female woman, and what a woman...  With his reputation?  Are they mad?

Hawtrey and the Blue Dragoons go at it.  Hawtrey needs to train his boys.  He loses five men and is unhorsed and captured.

The Dragoons look deadly.  They are obviously painted troops with higher morale.

The Dragoons chase the Hussars to the Deployment point capturing it.  Red's game is over

I note that Rifles Lieutenant Quentin von Wießmehrd not appear on table  His chip wasn`t drawn.  It didnt dawn on me until after the Deployment point was captured that his chip was missing from the bag.  Perhaps the Earl of Brent called on him for another mission, but it seems harsh that Brave Terry Scott was left to retreat with his men.

Clearly the lesson from this is that partially painted troops do not pass muster and that my Dragoons treated the Hussars with contempt.
