The Begovian army prepares to assault the defended trading post at Boduki ....
as the Begovian troops close in on the trading post, the last small river boat leaves ....
The Begovian troops advance towards the main gate ...
they are soon at the walls and the scaling ladders go up .....
fighting is hard .....most attempts to scale the walls fail, however some Begovians get over the defences by the wharf ....
some find a gap by the main gate and those by the wharf push forwards - the defenders seem to be holding them and start to push them back ...
another attempt to scale the walls at the corner by the main gate fails ....
the Begovians close in to the attack on the rest of the trading post ....
more Begovians are getting in by the wharf and gaining ground ....
even though the defenders have held the perimeter elsewhere the attackers have opened the main gate and now in surrounding pockets of defenders....
the situation is untenable - the defenders surrender - Boduki has fallen .....
Taking Manga --- the action....

Oh dear ! that's a blow , it must be reclaimed surely !?
A splendid fight but those Begovian's aren't just colourful, they are brave fighters.
A splendid coup de main by escalade, to be sure! No doubt the place will be given over to sack...
Excellent illustrated report! Looks hard-fought.
wonderful stuff...captbill
Great to see you gaming an assault on a built up area.
A sad event, indeed. But as the character of Gorbachev says in Chernobyl, every victory comes with some sacrifice. Let us hope that this sacrifice was not in vain.
