Punitive Expedition, Campaign Turns 1 - 4

 See the previous post for slight correction to my Snakes and Ladders map...

Over the last week or so I have managed to slowly make progress on my Punitive Expedition solo snakes and ladders campaign.  here are the first few campaign turns and the first battle.  So far I love this mechanism, it is fast and easy and I like the excitement of the die roll.

Special thanks to Bob Cordery for a mention. Now on to the show.

Campaign turn 1 saw a roll of a six and excellent progress made.  I was fortunate enough to have some good weather and the column made good progress

Campaign Turn 2 saw ANOTHEr 6 rolled which led me directly to an ambush...

By terrible Anzique cannibals allied with the slavers.

I fought the battle using The Men Who Would Be Kings, with the smaller Skirmish Kings option.  It was my first outing with the rules.  It gave a quick game, close order volleys are devastating as they should be.  I managed to get a few pins on the tribal warriors and then cut them down.  The tribal musketeers were useless, as expected. Still getting used to the rules, I look forward to the next outing.  Here is a summary:

As I won, I slide forward (this is the arrow I left out of my original version but fixed)

Campaign roll 3 was uneventful

And campaign roll 4 sees my camp attacked!  we'll save that for next time.  Until then, good gaming!
