Gallant Commanders of
The Second Battle of Tel Debi


Steve and Alan
were the doughty commanders of the British and sepoy units of the garrison at Tel Debi.

Their characters' names are now forgotten, which is just as well, because they are

dead,

dead,

dead.

David
played the intrepidly vacillating German kommandant von Himmelstupper, whose inspired dithering at the tombs gave the British an extra turn or two of time, without which the Random Anarchist might never have made an appearance and the entire British garrison might have escaped.

At least, that's the way the report will read.



Max
played the Native chieftan Makkas al Bzil, known to the infidel dogs as Beezil the Bandit, scourge of the desert. Though known far and wide as the most bloodthirsty renegade emir in Ouargistan, Makkas al Bzil wishes it known that the stein contains only the purest water, and any photographs of him smoking a cigar to celebrate the victory are fabrications of the British newspapers.
