1857 - Village water suppies.

Indian Mutiny 28mm game, A small British and Indian Army face each other on the battle, the Mutineers form before the village and it's suppy of water, the British knowing they have no choice but to attack and secure the village and its importance for the army.

Game was 10 moves, with the British artillery opening with the first blood drawn.

British decide to limber up and move closer to the Indian army and try to draw them out from the village.

Defenders make a order from the rear of the village, stand fast and focus on the British line that is about to advance supported by artillery, if we draw them towards the village then we will send our cavalry from both flanks to the center.

Both players had a plan, part two next week, more photos on our website in the gallery.





The Victorian Outpost is a new building created at the beginning of 2016, we can cater for almost any period and we now have the support of "Adrians Walls" and "Hovels Buildings" who have come on board.

Victorian Outpost has quickly become the number one wargaming place in Grimsby with its friendly welcome and fun place to visit, please pm myself to arrange a set time and date.
