Nice pics and report, thanks!
REminds me of a similar game I played some 30 years ago.

I immediately formed a square, and it was not till the end of the battle I had to shore up a crumbling side with the rear facing one. I could not stop some dervishes from breaking through, which cost me a good part of the baggage I'd enclosed in the square. Not a defeat, but no victory as well, as my column had to give up its mission. Boy, that was quite a game! Still fond emmories of it. |
