Lisa stopped by this afternoon for a playtest of the next scenario in the adventures of the RNAS armoured car squadron on the eastern front in WWI. In this scenario, the Russian army is in retreat, and the armoured cars are assisting Russian infantry and Finland Dragoons in escorting ambulances on the road to the town of Monasterzyska in Galicia (now part of Western Ukraine, but in 1917 this was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). As usual, my WWI Germans proxy in for the Austro-Hungarian KuK forces.
We rolled for leader traits before starting the game. Amusingly, we ended up with negative or neutral traits for almost every unit. Unfortunately for Arthur, the veteran Finland Dragoons ended up being led by a shirker, so these guys were prevented from charging anyone who hadn't already attacked them! One of the KuK infantry units had the same trait, so there was a built-in resistance to action right from the very start.
Here is the table. The Russian ambulances enter on the left and must exit by one of the two roads on the right. The telegraph poles have no effect on the game, and are likely anachronistic for this part of the old A-H empire.
KuK infantry move up to cover the fork in the road.
