Quelling the Commune - part 2

 Government troops surge forward...
 ...towards the nest of criminals that is Paris. Note the barricades on the streets and the town hall in the distance.
 But first we must subdue Fort Issy......
....General Gallifet’s division was tasked with that. 
As you may have gathered from the tone of these posts, I was cast as Marshal MacMahon, with Mike L as General Gallifet and Anthony M as General Cissey.
The town hall flying the red flag. Deputies can be seen lolling drunkenly on the steps outside.
The wicked Communards were played by Brian C and Graham A. Setup and umpiring by PW.

    Will the routing troops be serenaded by “Don’t leave me this way.” by any chance?

    80s is pretty modern for Alan!
