Trouble at Villa Rondiso....

Continued from the previous post

Monrovians under the guise of brigands, led by Captain Sennari of the monrovian army (who calls his motley crew Sennari's Marauders) have tracked down Count Balderdash who is under guard at Villa Rondiso, near Kirkhof in Wittenberg, they are intent on capturing him and returning him for trial in Monrovia.

---oXo---
Sennari's Marauders approach the villa from the back and the side ....

They open fire on the guard (Madame Givenchy's Irregulars), downing one of them ....
The roof comes off so the defenders can be moved about (rather bare interior at the moment - more work to do on the villa model)......
The Marauders rush the side door - but fail to get in ....
another group of Marauders move down the side of the villa, exchanging fire with the defenders ...
Madame Givenchy sizes up the situation, where is Captain Scharfe and his jagers she wonders
At Kirkhof , hearing the sound of gun fire from the direction of the villa, Captain Scharfe rouses his men and sets off at the run down the road...
The Marauders still trying to get in the side door, as more of them move forward....
Madame Givenchy and her Irregulars have fallen back and are using the colonnade at the front of the villa for cover .......
Captain Scharfe and his jagers come under fire from a group of Marauders behind the hedges....
The Marauders move up, increasing the pressure on the villa's defenders; Captain Sennari comes up on horse back with a couple of others ....
Captain Scharfe tries to move down towards the villa under the cover of the hedge but is pinned down ...
The Marauders rush the colonnade - all hangs in the balance ....
They succeed, many of the Irregulars are wounded and the rest surrender; the Marauders find Count Balderdash and lead him out ...

---oXo---
Captain Sennari and his Marauders took Count Balderdash with them and made it back across the border into Monrovia. 

Two of the Madame Givenchy's Irregulars were killed and the wounded were taken to Kirkhof where they were tended to, the waters from the healing spring near the church of St Barnabas were used to speed their recovery.

Love it! And your villa is simply amazing. Almost like an architectural model. . . but better.
