AUTUMN BIG GAME 2018 - THE TRUE STORY! (PART TWO)


"A Flank Attack in Preparation". 3rd Section, Loyal Ludlow Infantry, have worked their way around Stokkies'
flank. 2nd Section (with Standard) take advantage of a continuing smoke barrage. 1st Section advances from
the now complete Pontoon Bridge. Where are Stokkies reinforcements?
"The Courageous Self Sacrifice of the Invincibles". Sir Gilbert's men (and women) advance on a very broad front,
drawing fire from both Stokkies troops and those of Lt. Everard. It was the Invincibles' willingness to take
 huge casualties that enabled the Allied victory.
"Technical difficulties" On the right flank, spooked not by fire but by a sudden storm
 of thunder and lightning (chance card event), Pastor Head's engineers are too jumpy to finish
 building their Pontoon Bridge. A Ludlow tank waits in vain.
 It could only be the VBCW.
"The Tank Brigade will Advance!" Sir Gilbert's engineers complete the central Pontoon
Bridge, and Pastor Head diverts the Anglican Tank Brigade across it. For HMG, matters
are now looking blacker than a BUF uniform (at midnight).
