The Marauders return ...

Sennari, who has recovered after being wounded in his last encounter with the Irregulars (see here), leads his Marauders on a mission to get the key spy Von Stahling and his daughter across the border to safety in Monrovia. 

Madame Givenchy and her Irregulars are working with Captain Scharfe and a detachment of jagers to intercept them as they try to reach the Monrovian border post at Nitteldorf.

---oXo---

Sennari and his Marauders gather at the Inn....
 Scharfe and Givenchy decide where to deploy ...
 Scouts report back to Sennari ....
 Madame Givenchy spots some movement by the Inn ...
 Sennari and his men move off ...
 Shots are exchanged after the lead men cross the ford ....
 Gievenchy and her Irregulars, with support from a couple of jagers engage the Marauders ....
 The Marauders push through, the coach making headway down the road....
 Meanwhile a group of Marauders are clearing a way past the Mill ....
 The coach lurches forward at full tilt onto the bridge; Scharfe and his men fire a couple of shots and then dodge out of the way ....
 The Marauders continue their fight with the Irregulars, Givenchy is wounded and is carried back down the side road ....
 The coach races onwards towards the border post, as the Marauders reach the bridge ....
Sennari leads a small group of Marauders through the field by the side of the road, with them is Von Stahling and his daughter
 The exchange of fire back and forth across the hedges continues as Sennari leads his group forward ....
 The coach arrives at the Monrovian border post, the border guard find it empty and the driver badly wounded ...
 Sennari watches the fighting by the road and bridge; the group of Marauders who went via the mill are now crossing the river ....
A jager sniper in the rocks picks off a couple of the Marauders ...
Sennari's group crosses the river ....
Sennari and his men deal with a couple of Irregulars who were hidden in a small copse ...
Sennari leads Von Stahling and his daughter to safety at the border post, the leader of the group which went via the mill waves to him ...


---oXo---

Sennari and his Marauders succeeded in their mission, but lost half their number in the process.  Both Scharfe and Givenchy were wounded - they lost a few Irregulars and a couple of jagers.

A great scenario, and the terrain is the best I have seen (pic 2 especially).

I love the look of your terrain with the hedges and livestock. Very nice, sir.

Excellent report! Your games are always so visually appealing, but I think you've outdone yourself this time! It's also a great example of a fun game with lots of drama and tension (and even humor in some of your scenarios) with a small number of figures.
