The Portable RISK Campaign - Summer 1845 (2)

 A little more action has occurred in the Portable Wargame Campaign being fought with RISK figures (see HERE for the first part of this Season's turn).

Although Rubiria's invasion of Northern Amethysia had got off to a shaky start, the Red General pushed on.

Here's a reminder of the Map for Summer 1845 (note Amberil is allied to Amethysia and mobilized forces in response to the invasion by Rubiria)

I played two short games this morning.

In game 1 the objective for both sides was to take and hold a village.

Early position with Amethysia having possession of the objective

Luck was against the Amethyisian General and by Turn 9 his force was in bits and was forced to withdraw

In game 2 the remnants of the Amethysian Army established a defensive position; their objective being to hold the hills until the end of turn 15.

Start of game 2

 

By the end of turn 10 the Amethysian force had been all but destroyed

At the end of Summer 1845, Rubiria's successful Army 2 has been allowed to withdraw to rest and been replaced with the fresh Army 3. The new force will be straight into action as Autumn starts as Amberil has launched their second Army into the fray in support of their allies. The remains of the Amethysian Army has withdrawn to the Capital.

I'll have two pints of lager and a packet of crisps* please

Apologies for the absence of posts recently. I must confess, since Wanna-Be-Tsar Putin sent the Russian Army to murder, rape and loot (and in many cases die) in Ukraine, I have been somewhat put off my wargaming. Hope to be back again soon with a few ideas for the 3x3 PW. Until then, stay safe and well (you're still better off wearing a mask!)
