Game 2 Part 04
The Martian infantry formations smash the ‘Thin Red Line’ with minimum of casualties and the Brits withdraw.
In my version of the Space 1889 rules, the Oenotrian shield guns are multi barrelled and at close range are fatal against unarmoured troops. A design they developed from their own technology after seeing human multi guns.
Though expensive they are cheaper than human rifles and most importantly (apart from the useful close quarters punch) they are not reliant on humans for supply.
These results bare out over half a dozen test games which we are happy with.It gives back some balance to the Martian forces against mass manufactured rifles, machine guns and more effective artillery from the armies of the ‘Great Powers’.

The fleeing forces reach the area of the canal where Lord Hulmutex and his heavy infantry are waiting for his Cloud ship to be repaired. As soon as Hulmutex is told he orders his troops into battle formation.
The British Imperial forces arrive and quickly form up but the senior officers are concerned at the high number of heavy infantry.

Part 5 Game 01
Both sets of Gashant riders prepare to charge in this small area. But the scouts already have the initiative. The charge takes place but a rifle squad on the left flank fire into the Oenotrian Lancers and without the distance advantage their extra long lances are a disadvantage against the Hill Martian spears.
As the British infantry advance towards the canal the Martians begin to withdraw and the Shastapsh commander fails a bravery test. He flees leaving his and the Oenotrian troops only managing to bring the artillery with him and a hand full of men.
If he hadn’t failed he may have been able to stage a last minute counter action with a full unit of musketeers now on high ground and what is left of the other forces.
The second game we played will be posted over the week.
