Up the Tigris: The Basra Oil Works


 The Commonwealth forces have sent their gunboat Flotilla up the Shatt Al Arab towards Basra.  The target is the Barain Oil Works buildings and to secure the pipe.  A Royal Marine battalion is supporting.

The Turks will be handled as a random force, although the Cavalry from game one and the attack and landings at Fao are shadowing the gunboats.



Odin leads the flotilla up the Shatt al Arab waterway

Zero encounters!  The Turkish cavalry shadows,

Hidden battery.  Odin replies with excellent dice.

And I land the Royal Marine battalion to drive off the Turks

Easy game for the Empire!  We take the oil works for no losses,  The dice were kind.
