The Battle of Shang Loo

Here's some pictures from a miniatures battle I particpated in a few months ago. The scenario was set in the Boxer Rebellion/China Relief Expedition of 1900.

There were US and German forces versus Imperial Chinese and Boxer irregulars. Here's some view of my troops in action. It was a bloody affair (especially after one of the American commanders decided to charge the village with cavalry- not wise!).


Here Co. M, 6th US blindly charges forward to Shang Loo unaware that hidden in the village are Imperial Chinese infantry supported by artillery.

Here's a close-up of Co. M charging forth...can you say Balaclava? Onward to the village of death!


After the disastrous cavalry charge against the village of Shang Loo, the US commander finally wised up and launched a second assault with a company of the 9th US Infantry to take the village.


Meanwhile, on the left flank, more companies of the 9th US Infantry advance supported by a Gatling Gun and another company of the 6th US Cavalry.
