We left off before the Easter Truce with BGORA poised to launch an assault on Fort Chuck. The fort was garrisoned by the 62nd Foot and a battery of guns under Colonel Sir Henri Simmering. The 26th Dragoons are also pert of Sir Henri's force but were released to serve as distant cover rather than being cooped up in the fort. Opposing Sir Henri is the full might of the Benevolent Guinalean Organized Republican Arm:y under General Moult. The BGORA consists of one battalion of line infantry with melee weapons only, two battalions of light infantry, two regiments of light wolfriders, one regiment of medium lizard riders, and a battery of guns. Clearly Sir Henri had his work cut out for him. More at: link |

The Fort looks impregnable but Sir Henri didn't have enough troops I'm afraid. The Dragoons should have been forced to stay inside, Oh well hind sight is always 20-20. |

Perhaps so. I am playing as the Ferach/Rebels so commanded the other side. Sir Henri's instructions were to hold the fort for a day and then withdraw on the next line of defense…which I suspect is the bridge over the Iffey. Had the 26th been mauled in the fort they might not have been able to cover his withdrawal. |
