[BTV1-OL] Infiltration for Tomorrow's Ambush

[CapOnBOBS]

Edward Beauchamp and his marauders have become ghosts, haunting the approaches to King's Port. Everywhere at once, nowhere to be found. Terraversan patrols are ever growing in size and shrinking in range. Villagers see the inability of the Terraversan Government to deal with a menace so close to King's Port as a sign of dangerous ineptness. 

Fierce ambushes from all points of the compass eat into the morale of Terraversans, Rewards have been offered, but patrols can barely find a footprint. No signs remain that Beauchamp and his men were even there, aside from the burnt supply wagons, spiked guns, and bloody bodies.

"Fear is our greatest weapons," Beau tells his grenadiers, so green and young just weeks ago, now lean and tough. "They will think we are phantoms, hiding behind every tree, cocking a musket with every snap of a twig. They will say, 'we are safe here' only to realize that nowhere is safe. We will turn these woods into walls and iron bars, King's Port will become their prison!" 

Beau and his men wade into the slime and mud of one of dozens of nameless tributaries to the King's River. Through the bugs, snakes, rocks, cold of the water, leeches, vines, and angry monkeys, the line of troops maintain discipline, not a word is spoken for hours... Not a word, until the latest trap is sprung and another Terraversan supply convoy fails to arrive in King's Port.

Nice idea! Taking the wet road is always sneakier 

I also love the dual pistol choice of fighting style

[Fraunces]

Nice man, you get the right guerilla vibe! Show us one of these ambushes too   would be cool

[Mesabi]

Neat little build @CapOnBOBS, it turned out well, but your bluecoats certainly would have their uniforms ruined.

Nice scene and build. I like the transparent blue that was used for the river, and the vegetation used on the sides definitely gave off a swampy feel.

I like this build. You really captured the feeling of an isolated jungle river with the vegetation and various animals. I might recommend raising the banks by a few plates or so, but perhaps that's just a stylistic difference. Regardless, well done.
