AUTUMN BIG GAME 2023 - PART SEVEN

Meanwhile, on the West Table, Gentleman Jim and Terrain Tsar Roo were engaged in a leisurely skirmish, all the while collecting up valuable "agricultural animals":

Gentleman Jim's Forces advance at the beginning of the game.
His splendid cavalry ensure early capture of a farm.

An opposite view - Terrain Tsar Roo's forces.
Gentleman Jim's Farm top left.
Jim's cavalry advance forward, while Roo's farmer section, top,
begin to form a skirmish line.

The opposite view again - Terrain Tsar Roo's skirmish line is supported by
a Heavy Machine Gun, and carefully positioned behind some
ready to explode "Milk Churns of Death". A couple of sheep take
the opportunity to skedaddle, hoping to avoid becoming a "Barbecue Treat"
for either player.

Gentleman Jim's Cavalry comes under fire, and is placed in disorder. His hopes now
appear to rest with the armoured car and section of sailors advancing up the lane
to the left of this photograph. It looks like the sheep might be making their escape.

Terrain Tsar Roo deploys his Horse Artillery and splendid (Kings Own Colonials) Technical
Jim's Armoured Car appears to have been ambushed, and is now burning fiercely.

It was around this inconclusive point that Gentleman Jim unleashed his Boyes Anti-Tank rifle, and began blowing up the Milk Churns of Death one by one - it is unknown whether any escaping sheep were hurt in the making of such explosions.....
