So one of the ships carrying the American troops to Vera Cruz, has instead, literally dropped onto a beach in the Alternative Yucatan. A rough barricade was thrown up, just in time in fact...
The view from the sea (that is an old Constitution model that I stripped the masts etc to form a wreck)...
Silently, Holcano tribesmen (Mayan?) moved up to the jungles edge, to begin launching their deadly arrows on to the unsuspecting Americans...
The first Grik appear as they begin their charge from the jungle (they are the evolved dinosaurs on this 'other" Earth...
Then a lot more Grik emerge...
The American's 6 lbers and muskets open fire dropping the first Grik...
Whole ranks of Griks are being shot down, but more strep out of the jungle...
Many Grik are down, but their charge is getting closer and closer...
The first Grik make it to the barricade, while Holcano arrows are inflicting U.S. casualties (notice the wounded being moved to the rear of the fighting line)...
The fighting is getting intense at the apex of the American line...
Closer view...
The Grik are on top of the barricade! They are simply ignoring their losses...
The Americans devastate the right wing of the Grik forces...
The breach at the Apex is sealed (at least for now)...
Despite the U.S. losses, the Grik withdraw as reinforcements arrive to same the beleaguered Americans...
A very enjoyable game! If you like Alternative Historicals, i highly recommend the Artillerymen series which is a prequel to an even larger (and great) series (the Destroyermen)
