Nutcracker - Sweet!
The defenders:
The attackers:
The enemy advances and the defending guns roar to life!
As the shells explode amongst the advancing enemy lines defender volleys also begin their evil work.
The advance continues as both artillery and volley fire begin to litter the ground with the fallen!
As the attacker begins to dress his lines the defending artillery explodes in rapid succession!
The first line of the attack approaches the enemy right flank.
Attacking artillery falls wide of any defender and continues to do so!
The Royal Blues advance with the White Legion and both prepare to fire a volley!
The Greens continue to draw the enemy artillery fire!
Stragglers and the fallen litter the field.
Ready! Aim!
Fire!
The Maroon defenders at the lower wall are quickly felled but the Royal Blues gain the attention of 2 guns of cannister!
The first wave of the White Legion fall in a line to a blast from the Maroons which are then in turn over run themselves!
The Greens advance to a line just short of their targets!
The White Legion second wave supports the Greens both of which have survived another dual blast of cannister!
Will the Blue Bird Gunners be able to sweep the enemy from the heights?
The last surviving Maroon unit tries desperately to slow the White Legion.
The battle field.
With a mighty roar and a rush the Greens manage to get in amongst the gunners!
The White Legion ignores two fleeing gunners and prepares to follow the Greens up over the heights!
Another fleeing gunner surveys the field from his hiding spot.
With a second roar and rush the White Legion join the surviving Greens in the battery - one gun has been spiked!
The Maroons make a pitiful volley hitting no one and the second gun is spiked!
The scattered gunners and Maroons are surounded and the attackers secure the heights!
Attacking Royal Reds, Royal Blues, Green Grenadiers, and White Legion - Major Victory!
Defending Blue Birds and Maroons - Major Defeat!
