Objective

The White side have been ordered to secure Miss Elviras "Bro Kiosken" (Filling Station), the bridge and the road passing by to make it possible for a very important transport to pass by, but ofcourse the main reason for Ryttmästare Beironson to accept the mission was thet he would get a chanse to visit young and beautiful Miss Elvira Johansson  "Bro Kiosken" and try to explain way he fell of his horse the other day....

The Red side has once again been sent to the "Bro Kiosken" by the Young Eagles Leader Erland Thageson to get some candy and sweets that hi had promised his young fighters in  game #3...

Situation after the first activations. Stosstruppe Beironsson have made a catuious advance on the other side of the bridge, i.e the white sides left flank. Stosstruppe Knös made a swift advance in the center and secured the two woods at "Bro Kiosken" and the Bladmyr Textiles Militia started to advance on the right flank keeping their Carrier in support on the road.

The Red force concentrated all their troops on the nearest side of the bridge with "Gruvettan" on both sides of the road and Fagersta Röda Garde making a dashing mobile advancement with blasing guns along the road to "Bro Kiosken"...

Union Leader Engelbrektsson taking cover behind a small cottage as the Red Guard make a swift advance along the road.

The Bladmyr Textiles Militia dont want to ruin their new Uniforms so they make a catuious advance throught th field under firm command of Chief Designer Mjältbring in his stylish pigeon-blue uniform.

To Miss Elviras great dissapointment? Reitmeister Beironsson didn´t advance his troops any further... Might he had missunderstod the orders or was he to embarrassed to meet Miss Elvira...any how he deployed his Mortar and started to plunge grenades on the other side of the river...

In a cloud of road dust and with blazing guns the Fagersta Red Guards dissembarke just outside the "Bro Kiosken" The Red Victory was close by...

With greateer number and in cover of a Stone wall the Bladmyr Textiles Militia easy out shooted a group of "Gruvettan" Militia...

Inspired by their comrades in Fagersta Red Guard the rest of the "Gruvettan" units joined in on the all out assault towards "Bro kiosken"...

At the same time dissaster struck for "Gruvettan" as the Bladmyr Textiles Militia cunningly had sneaked up on the Union Leader Engelbrekt and overwhelmed him in a Close Assault and took him prissoner...

But that was not the end to the dissasters that affected the Red... The White Mortars in conjunction with the troops from Stosstruppe Knös that was protecting the "Bro kiosken" took a greate toll on the Red Forces...the Fagersta Red Guard was almost disintegrated and "Gruvettan" took to the run...better fight a nother day...or what they was jibbering about...

Victorious Bladmyr Textiles Militia esscort the "Gruvettan" Leader Engelbrekt to interrogation...

The end of the fighting...and still no candy for the Young Eagles...

We had a greate game, at least I hope so;)  The rules worked quite well, I will gather the feed back recived and have a run through of them and a new test game, you will ofcourse get a AAR here:)

Now back to painting the "Dalkulla"...
