Start of the Campaign

A very good friend of mine is visiting in 10 days. I thought he would like to game the opening scenario. of the campaign.
I have set up the tabletop to represent Brahin a small town/village on the Polish border, close to Russia.  I have written the backstory which I am sure would not interest readers.

Troops to be involved ..... for my games, 1 figure = 30. 

The figures will be placed on the table next week.
