This battle was fought many years ago (2004) using my 15mm Boxer Rebellion collection, Piquet Din of Battle rules, and lots of beer. Hal Hood, Eric Burgess, Brian Connolly, and Mike Bolling were the commanders.

Yangtsun Market
Scenario
Boxers are assaulting the Mission located in a port town of Yangtsun, while both land and naval relief forces come to their rescue. Three Boxer banners: red, yellow, and black start the game attacking the mission directly. One regiment of Chinese Imperial troops also are present, but nobody knows how much they will impact the coming struggle.
The mission is only guarded by USMC, Royal Marines, and Bersaglirie, with a large civilian group gathered in the mission for protection.

THE BATTLE
Since the game me was fought six years ago, I'm relying on the text from the pictures to narrate the battle.
This is the critical attack!
The mission survived, but the relief forces were almost completely annihilated. Great fun!
Dear friend, your buildings and your ships are great. I would like make the same scenarios. Can you help me? Have you the draws or some pic taken during the "making of" I'm very interested about the measures or proportion, mainly of Gun ship.
