My first game of WW1 Men Who Would Be Kings. The game was great and went right down to the wire.

Camel Corps advancing

The Turks staddle the objective,

After several turns and a few causalities the Australian Regiment routs the Turkish machine gun and takes the objective.

The British Yeomanry charge a Turkish infantry unit caught in the open but get a bloody nose and are repulsed and pinned.

The third Australian/New Zealand regiment fails to move at a crucial time.

The massed Turkish fire does little as their poor shot and obsolete rifles make it hard to hit.

While trying to rallhy the Yeomanry a pinned again and forced to retreat.

A Turkish infantry charges the Australian Regiment and regain the hill. In the background the Australian/New Zealand Regiment’s charge just fails to reach.

The B ritish Yeomanry fail to rally and third time and rout off the battlefield.

The Australian Regiment fails to rally and retires with a second pin.

A third failed rally attempt sees them joining their Yeomanry brothers in retiring with “due haste”.

The last British Empire troops fail to charge.

The only reasonably intact Turkish unit gains the heights and wins the game, as the Austrlain regiment fails to charge a second time!

A great game where the British had two mopportunities to sieze a win but the Turks held out.
