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.

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.
Glad to see Christmas hasn't slowed you down a bit! Have a wonderful New Year...Bill
Another excellent photo- essay
