The Relief of Lady Smith, North West Frontier, 1890s

In this fun scenario, using Osprey's Men Who Would Be Kings rules, the British player had to come to the relief of Lady Smith (not to be confused with the town of Ladysmith of Boer War fame!). Somehow her Ladyship had become stranded in territory swarming with wily, untrustworthy Pathans. Quite what Madam was thinking of by putting herself in such a vulnerable, dangerous position, is unknown. This unfortunate oversight necessitated the dispatch of a number of British infantry sections to her rescue.

Unfortunately for her Ladyship, not to mention the brave lads that sought to come to her aid, they were all slaughtered by the bloodthirsty, victorious Pathans. Lady Smith was certainly not relieved.
