The moment of the attack has arrived.
The measurement is made, and Mrs H W explodes the mine!
The smoke clears and the crater appears!
Hmm. More ladders needed? As the mines at Chatham usually had to be fired in front of the redoubts there was no possibility of a breach. The attackers needed a at least four more sections of 'escaliers' to effectively storm the Redan, and the umpires agreed that the attackers would be able to keep the defenders heads down, by weight of musketry ... so an honourable draw at the close of play.
Just one thing left to do.
