With varying degrees of ease the four forces managed to set fire to the huts of the enemies tribal supporters. The Germans opponents didn't seem that interested in preserving their huts, the French opponents positively swarmed all over the French (must have been the red trousers and gaudy uniforms that upset them). The Zanzibaris used cavalry well and discovered their gunners were made of heroic stuff. The British showed a smoothness and finesse when it came to fire discipline and hut burning however in the last action of their day the young sub-altern Lt Dickie Carstairs-Smythe decided that he was missing out on glory burning huts and led his cavalry unit into the last tribals on the board. The cavalry skewered the unfortunate natives however young Carstairs-Smythe was struck from his saddle by a native assegai. The news was received with great sadness at Eaton where he was remembered for his ability at polo and as a ready crammer.
