Battle for Melonia 2

-






Both commanders make battle lines at the hill Apeach near Vicci.  Both sides guns fire to no effect, Soranto takes the initiative moving his Horse and foot forward to take the hill while threatening the centre with a troop of foot.

Expecting a tough fight for Apeach Dizeli orders his foot toward the hill, his foot in the centre firing a volley to no effect on the Clementine foot in the centre.

The combat on the hill sees the Clementine foot dislodged!


As the cannon fire once again to no effect, Dizeli is quick to act, he sends his foot in the centre to hold off the enemy.  This spurring the Melonians on the hill sees that the Clementine horse and foot loose one SP a piece.  Soranto calmly sends more foot to support the centre.



Melonia gun hits its mark rattling Clementine foot for 1 SP in the centre.  Clementine gun misses.  Soranto brings up his reserve foot to take the hill, in the centre Melonian foot pushed back.  Dizeli brings his horse into play for a desperate gambit.




The guns roar and Melonian Horse are pushed away, as Clementine foot panic and run from the centre, Melonians push the enemy hard and take an area of Apeach, in the centre Melonian rally and give volley to the Clementine foot causing an SP.

It’s at this point in the game force Soranto has suffered 5 SP and Melonian force has suffered none !

Soranto flags the withdrawal with thoughts of another way through, Dizeli is happy to see the withdrawal and hopes that his men’s cheers on Apeach are not short lived.



Soranto has plans to make his way to Nomi to recoup and march down upon Elodina.  Dizeli is not slow sending riders after the Clementine force.

Broccolia reactions to the news are as follows, “it will be a long drawn out affair and so a contingent will be sent out to interests in Clementine.”

Carrotia reactions to the news are as follows, “it will be of our interests to send a contingent to Elodina, to repel Clementine invaders in the name of the Holy Church, who supports the rights of all Melonian.”

Clementine insists the lands that boarder Melonia are of their right and the Melonians have insisted to surge north up the river. A treaty is sort with Broccolia, it states “that Broccolian interests remain untouched.”

Melonia send reports of Nomi and further south being invaded and that their lands have been ravaged for years!

Training

 So I’ve been training for two days now, the benefits will be soon to come.  Today I felt that burn, which I used to experience many moons ago. It is a good feeling, it’s almost like burning negative energy, tiring at first but that is good that brings sleep and recoup. A succession of rounds made up of basic exercises with low minute (to start off) shadow boxing. Does not sound like much but on day two of it, I can say I feel like it’s doing something, experience tells me to keep going.   Willpower? Willingness to continue? This is not a problem as I need to, I have dependents, I deserve this self improvement. Mentally and physically this is going to put me ahead.  Plus it is so easy to fit it in my daily routine.  What I’m fighting through, physically arthritis is hitting me like a steam train, the job is slowly giving me repetitive strain.  Mentally I’m battling depression, anxiety and stress.  Obviously our current situation does not help, though i...

Back on the blog, had nothing much to write about until I got to try Dominion of Spear and Bayonet. Now I’ve seen mixed reviews, but on playing through it I’ve found it engaging and just damn good fun. What surprised me most is how easy it translates into a story, a tale of the battle can be easily weaved. I’ll crack on and you will see. Welly in Maratha. I went for the first battle listed, three times I failed as the East India Company, this battle (4th) went really well. Second Anglo-Maratha War (1803 - 1805 AD) Turn 1 The Company started it's attack on the right flank with the able Highlanders of Armstrong, straight into the Confederacy line who put up such a tough resistance that both sides had to call from their reserves as the wounded fell back and dead were counted. On the left flank the Confederacy’s cannon roared at the Highlanders of McDonald, who then went on to storm the position and capture gun. Turn 2. In the centre of the battlefield the light dragoons got the messag...

Ship Ahoy!

 So I have repurposed the old Battleships game by “merit” and used my slimmed down “accident rules” to play a simple game. The battleships locator divides handily into a grid (fancy that…), the ships easily marker penned black team and red team. To make sure I knew who’s scores was who’s, I made sure above the draw deck (the right hand side) I would place red above it and black below.. To the left hand side we have a deck made of all jack, queen, kings and on the right hand side we have a deck made up from all 1-10 cards.  From this left hand deck a card is flipped and depending on colour that is who moves first and for firing shows the lucky extra draw type for firing. From the above example the red jack show red team moves first followed by black team.  For the gun fire seems that black has scored well 5 or more and has damaged red team by floatation point.  I figured as per Battleships they should have 3 floatation points, a move of 1 square and a gun range of 4 s...
