Balaclava 1854: Battle Cry Adaptation

Another chance to try out my Crimean War variant for Battle Cry. This time I used the Balaclava scenario on the Command & Colurs: Napoleonics web page.

It started poorly for the Russian Empire and only got worse! A series of attacks on the left flank were repulsed. The Highlanders and Turkish Infantry acting as a reserve charged out and initiated a general advance culminating in a cavalry clash in the centre with the eventual triumph of the Light Brigade reaching the Russian baseline largely unblemished.

The medal count was 7-0! This was the greatest defeat I've ever solo'd. It didn't feel like a rout as the Russians were fighting tenaciously, however, the superiority of the British units and some excellent card selections were influential in determining the outcome. Quite a contrast to the original historical encounter.

The cat decided to occupy the Turkish trenches!
