General Urko takes control of Ape Central City with a coup and dissolves the Supreme Council of Ape City. His plans are to launch a military campaign into the forbidden zone against the councils rejection. He therefore stages a coup and takes over the Ape Empire on the West Coast. Some of the council members flee to the south to try to organize a rebellion against the newly claimed dictatorship, which starts a civil war. General Urko marches south to capture and begin to put down the rebellion in the southern cities. The first attack in his campaign is the ape city in the Baja region known as Baja City. The figures used in this game are 40mm from Monolith Designs. The horses are 42mm Irregular Miniatures.
The ape forces in dark maroon are Urko troops and the forces in green are rebel troops.

The assault on Baja City begins
Rebel apes have taken many casualties defending the bridge from failed enemy cavalry attacks and artillery shelling. Luckily for them (for the moment) Urko's artillery forces have moved too the east. |
 |
| The Rebels have stopped General Urko's advance by denying his cavalry units across the bridge, and inflicting massive casualties and hold the bridge to the city. This was all done while taking incoming artillery shelling. Urko's is now moving his infantry forces forward towards the bridge along the river. Unfortunately the rebel forces have ran out of mortar rounds that were helping to hold the bridge, with the help rebel machine gun positions dug in on along the river bank near the bridge. Urko has ordered his artillery units to move east along the river to fire indirectly into the center of Baja City in an effort to cut off rebel reinforcements in the south eastern part of the city before he makes his final assault on the bridge.
