The siege continues

 Turn 1

Chigley

Dawn.  The White Coats have enjoyed an uncomfortable night on the hedge line - as the Cannonade lifts they charge towards the earthwork.  Captain Sneed is in the van.

The Green Coats continued to sap forward.

Turn 2

Chigley.  The White Coats assault the earthwork - and are repulsed with heavy loss.

Trumpton. The Trained band gave fire as the White Coats appear.  A catastrophic salvo from the party popper  kills three of the enemy outright, including Captain Sneed.  The White Coats pass a morale test.

Turn 3

Chigley - Roaring Doris drops short! Killing three more of the White Coats, who retreat in confusion.   The Green Coats are poised to assault. 

Trumpton - the Trained Band fire again inflicting more casualties.  The Trumpton cannon fires grape - and a solider and Captain Clutterbuck are killed.  Clutterbuck is struck by a passing shot, and does not pass the saving roll.

Turn 4

Chigley  Lord Belborough rushes to rally the remains of the White Coats, and the Green Coats retire to the original trench line.

Trumpton  The Trained Band sing a Psalm in astonishment at their deliverance.  

Turn 5

Chigley  Roaring Doris lands a direct hit in the earthwork killing the Mayor and two members of the Trained Band.  Lord Belborough has lost two key advisors, and is left with the rather dubious Captain Snort to discuss his options??

Trumpton - A blow for Trumpton late in the day - to lose the Mayor - the inspiration of the defence.   A hasty Council of War is held and the MP, Chippy Minton takes command, assisted by Captain Flack and Mr Bolt, the engineer.

Dusk begins to fall after a terrible day at Trumpton...
