They Shall Not Pass! (1)

Far off in Atlantica, an Oerberg raiding party set out to drive past Faraway's outposts and evade her patrols so it might wreak havoc in the rear and resupply themselves.

The Oerberg raiding force swiftly bypassed the redoubt on the hill only to find a hastily assembled reinforcement deploying across the road in front of it. 

The trap closed as cavalry backed by an armoured car appeared behind the raiding party.

An attack by the armoured car drove back the Oerberg rearguard while the blocking force held firmly. It was time for the Oerbergers to "Do or Die". Long Li faced about to act as rearguard while the rest of the force pressed on.

The armoured car proved itself vulnerable to direct HE  from Long Li and a desperate charge by mounted Oerbergers and Volunteers carried the 4.7", driving off the Faraway infantry blocking the road. Only two squadrons of cavalry were in position to catch up if they had the initiative to seize the moment.

 Luck was with Larsen's Lancers. They not only seized the initiative but they rode over the enemy, scattering the Oerbergers to the winds. They even overran Oom Bob. The raid had been dispersed in the nick of time!

Oddly, on the same day, away across the mountains, a similar incident occurred between the forces of Oberhilse and Faraway, but that's a tale for another day.
