The Bordurian Incursion Part 3

The battle at the pass.


The Syldavians beat the Bordurians at Tor Volodokar and have driven them back to the border. Bolstered by reinforcements, the Bordurians turn and face the pursuing Syldavians at the pass between Syldavia and Borduria. But the Syldavians have also been reinforced.


The Syldavians enter from the right and received a group of skirmishers and 2 groups of line infantry as reinforcements. The Bordurians enter from the flanks and received also a group of skirmishers as reinforcements plus 2 groups of conscripts.

Light infantry of both parties has suffered losses in the previous games of this campaign.



The Syldavian wounded from previous games are guarding the deployment point.


Both parts of the Bordurian pincer are firing at the Syldavians.


While their conscripts are brought forward to form a line.


Syldavian line troops fire uncontrolled while their light infantry is taking casualties.


A Syldavian priest is brought forward to boost morale and remove shock, but with a 1 rolled for the number of shock tokens he removes, the effect is rather disappointing.


First one Syldavian light infantry group breaks.


Then another one breaks.


And while the Bordurian conscripts decimate the Syldavian skirmishers...


The Bordurian light infantry and Syldavian line infantry blast away at each other.



When the Syldavian line breaks it is all but over and the Syldavians have to withdraw.


The Brodurians have turned the tables on the Syldavians and even have a chance to win the campaign, if they can beat the Syldavians in the next 3 games.
