He didn’t fail to deliver:</p><p style="line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">The French have captured the Mohican shaman, Moulting Wolf, who has revealed that deep in the forest, Running Bear’s Scared Tomahawk lies buried. Anyone who holds the Tomahawk can count on the support of many local tribes, which may tip the balance in their favour. The French have planned an expedition of a force of 75 points (no natives) to retrieve the Tomahawk. The British have got wind of their plan and have likewise despatched a force of 75 points (no natives) to beat them to it.</span></p><div style="border: 1px solid transparent; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div class="s2" style="background-color: white; border: thin solid black; height: 354px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 549px; margin-top: 19px; position: absolute; width: 205px; z-index: 251670528;"><p style="line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">The French start anywhere along the right-hand edge and the British on the left.</span></p><p style="line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">There are also three Indian bands who start in a random square (D6 xD4) at a random place in the square (D4 x D4). When their card is drawn, they will be activated and move towards the nearest foreigners if they are within 16” or in a random direction (D8 points of the compass). They will attempt to charge at the first opportunity.</span></p><p style="line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">The winner is the side that finds the scared tomahawk.</span></p></div><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> </span></div><table style="border-collapse: collapse;

The initial deployment of the Indians was very much in my favour. Rick’s British had 3 of the 4 groups of Indians close to his deployment point. Speaking of which Rick had purchased a moveable deployment point (with his rangers). Clever! That would get him 12” closer to the possible locations of the sacred tomahawk.</span><div><br /></div><div>We both had the majority of our forces deployed quickly. Unfortunately for Rick, his rangers were the last to arrive. They have the ability to unlock the moveable deployment point for other units once they’ve used it. This represents the rangers guiding other units. </div><div><br /></div><div>Meanwhile I deployed a formation of regular infantry to face the Indians at my end of the table.

They report any damage or discrepancy in number of items. </p><p style="text-align: left;">We had sent 35 Items, typically a battalion, cavalry regiment etc. Within each Item we send off uniform and painting details for sub types ie. officers, musicians, NCOs etc. Chris even sent off painted samples!</p><p style="text-align: left;">Once the differing figures are allotted to one of Fernando's artists I was sent a front and rear photograph of each unit figure type for proof checking.</p><p style="text-align: left;">We had very few misinterpreted uniform details and these were quickly amended and a photograph of the redone figure sent for checking. Great work indeed.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Here are a selection of the sample pics.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="clear: left;
