The Turk's rapid advance may have caused a degree of consternation in the enemy ranks.
Soon troops from both sides were glaring at each other round a corner of the building.
A Turkish sniper soon sneaked up to a firing position.
How long would the stand-off last?

Turkish fire soon created a few gaps in the Svenhasselsteiner ranks.

"Well we set up on the lawn an the lads are all over the moon. Course, then the rain started an sick as parrots, we all go indoors. Next thing you know, we're playing on a smooth polished pitch, Johnny Turk wins the toss n kicks off an he's coming down the left wing faster than Billio! Our artillery lobbed a few gud un's into the center. Stromberg hoofs it down the right wing an is all ready for a shot at goal then the ref blows the final whistle and it's all over. We was robbed!!!
ReplyDeleteStill it's a game of three half's and the lads aren't to despondent. We looking forward to round two".

Hoorah for the Turcques of the Turquoise Empire! Mind you, that looked like a highly disciplined Svenhasselstein army that they defeated - so it was obviously no mean feat!
