In the game, the British C-in-C takes the hill and deploys his artillery and MG’s in time to shoot off the advance of the Pathans in front of them with the help of an Indian unit from the infantry brigade on their right.
The British right hand brigade advances with the Ghurkhas taking the steep hill. The Ghurkhas stand off repeated charges from the Pathans, but are eventually pushed back off the hill. They manage to rally and counter charge, supported by the other units in the Brigade and force the Pathans off the hill.
The British officer on the left misunderstands his orders and advances too far to the left, leaving a gap between him and the C-in-C. Due to a series of low initiative rolls and being shot twice he got stuck defending the wrong hill. The Ghurkhas and Highlanders manage to deploy on the rocky hill and have a long fire fight with the Pathans and Afghan regulars before finally forcing the Pathans to fall back.
