40mm: Brigands raid Apfelstrudel

My 40mm figs come out for a stroll ...

A convoy of ammunition and supplies is on its way to troops in the newly acquired Principality of Zinzendorf in the south (which is now part of the Kingdom of Wittenberg). The convoy plans to stop at the town of Apfelstrudel for a rest and to have some lunch. An escort has been provided for the convoy to deter brigands. However the brigands numbers have been swelled recently by disaffected members of the the population of the Braunlandt recently annexed from Saxe-Jarslberg; they have got wind of the convoy's movements and plan to attack it.
