Cemetery in action

We used the Afghan tribal cemetery in a big game a few months back, while my Maiwand brother-in-miniature-arms Nick Stern was visiting from Northern California. He and my son teamed up as the Anglo-Indians against me as the Afghans.

I never got around to posting an Battle Report on the game (maybe because it had nothing to do with Maiwand!) but it was hard-fought and very enjoyable game and the cemetery featured in my previous post played a key role as the first piece of terrain the Anglo-Indians had to cross in order to reach their objectives. I hid two Afghan tribal units in it and it quickly turned into a veritable hornet's nest of death, destruction and delay for the Brits. I remember some talk about how it was the British equivalent of what the "Anthill" was to the French in PATHS OF GLORY.

At some point maybe I'll post a full-fledged Battle Report, but for now, enjoy these pics from the which all feature the cemetery holding its own against strenuous attack...
