Saving Sir Higginbottom - The Second Day ( Office Demo )
Dawn comes to the native village. Pigs forage for food nearby.
The temple grounds lay quiet and in slumber.
The guardian in the fallen gate house awaits the morning rays of the Sun.
Sir Higginbottom sleeps soundly in his tent.
Suddenly hostile natives are discovered sneaking in to position near the base of the foot hill!
A alarm cry goes out and men rush to their posts! The lookout on the top of the hill is under attack!
They fight bravely and hold their ground!
At the foot of the hill a large body of hostiles advances to attack!
On the opposite side of the hill British troops are attacked by packs of fierce warriors!
While at the bottom the second pincer also advances forward.
With the peak of the hill swept clear of British a small squad of Imperial German sailors lumber forward with a
machine gun and put it into position.
The right pincer of natives comes under accurate fire of British rifles but absorbs the damage and tumbles forward.
The native left presses forward and emerges from behind the cover of a small ridge too close for comfort!
The native left flows around the British at the temple and engulfs them in howling madness!
Every man for himself! The British put up a fierce resistance but slowly fall to the numbers of their enemy!
Screaming, yelling, shouting, and shooting - it is a whirlwind of red and fierce brown!
The British are set on from the rear!
No place is safe!
The British are surrounded by the native right and fight as men possessed!
The natives cannot believe how these men in red coats fight so fiercely!
The gods watch from their statued positions all too familiar with the ways of man.
The gate guardian seems to be enjoying himself!
A British Corporal begins to tire from constant attack.
The native right tries to break the will of the British still holding firm.
Slowly one by one the British begin to fall to the natives who double and triple up on to them!
The native right finally succeeds in biting into their British enemy - but at great cost!
The British at the temple entrance appear to be holding if just barely.
But one more man of Britain goes down to the spear!
More natives swing in from the left!
The Subaltern draws a pistol to avenge a fallen comrade - only to miss with all three shots!
The native left roars in to attack!
The British at the wall do an about face and fire - only to miss in their haste!
The native right continues to whittle down the British but at the expense of their own number as well!
The surviving British are set on by the native right with renewed vigor!
The British center begins to become overwhelmed as well!
They just cannot seem to deliver the key fire required to get some breathing room to regroup!
The Subaltern finds himself at close quarters and alone!
The Germans watch the native right as it is destroyed. The remaining British are taken under fire by the machine gun
and that pocket of resistance falls silent as well.
The British in and around the camp are overcome!
The rest of the Germans move forward to the edge if the hill.
Sir Higginbottom hides in his tent praying the natives don't come in his direction next.
The friendly natives in the village hear the British rifle fire fall silent and the cheers of their enemy. Things are not good.
The hostile natives await the German order to attack the village.
But the Germans signal for them to stay in place. The crew elevate the machine gun and begin to fire on the village!
At the sound of the enemy machine gun and the sight of the fleeing friendly villagers the two surviving British out on
piquet duty decide enough is enough and speed off to warn the nearest British outpost of the successful enemy attack!
Hostile Natives/Germans - Major Victory - WINNER!
British/Friendly Natives - Major Defeat
