Do you use abduction as a premise in your scenarios? Help! I've been cat napped!

That is the only time I have ever felt sorry for a Chihuahua

I rate it as one of the types of skirmish games. Trickier for the attacker than assassination, and easier to play out in a small area than some others. But in this instance--how much could they hope to get for a Chihuahua? It's not as though they captured a real dog.

Abduction and rescue is stock-in-trade for many of the genres in which I game (tabletop and RPG). Chihuahuas … not so much.

Actually I do have one, In a Napoleonic game a Russian battery got abandoned by its men ( doesn't happen often as my Russians tend to die fighting or face the wrath of Arakcheev) anyway the guns got ran over to and throw by a cavalry battle with the Prussians ( their opponents) slowly winning the area. A Prussian horse battery commander thought it was safe to abandon his guns and go steal those Russian guns, so they left their guns mounted up charged out to the Russian's guns limbered up and returned with their prise.
