Gnome Wars The Germans spread their breweries to the far corners of the world, including China.

The pictures above and below shows the layout. The Japanese and British landed on the docks and had to capture the buildings so they have a place to launch their assault on the heights. (Next Game) The Germans put up a stout defense!

An allied force of Japanese and British arrived in September 1914 to lay siege on the port city.

The Germans had a unit in the forward farm near the fountain. They also had a unit in the woods to the left. The Germans defending the buildings sent a unit out to meet the attackers in the woods to the right. I thought it was going to be a disaster, but it ended up being a great strategy. Of course, another great "strategy" was the German heavy mortar hitting 9 out of 10 shots (needing a 6). It was devastating.

The Germans were able to hold the buildings and secure a victory!!

It is the morning of November 7th, 1914, when an allied force of Japanese and British hope that last night's battle went well

More to come.
