<\/a><\/p>\nThe initial set-up looking northeast. Askaris occupy the fortified house and a zariba.\u00a0 Reinforcements are somewhere in the offing.\u00a0 I’ll trigger their movement with a “Yes\/No” die roll when the Tribal units get within a charge move of the house.\u00a0 Right now – given table space – the Tribal units are at long range, one move from where they are on the table.<\/p>\n
