Immobilised span of trek oxen with yoke. One dead and one looking on. A European conductor and an armed African wagon worker.
Use with THEM33 Covered wagon or THEM29 ox drawn artillery.
Set consists of one standing ox, one dead ox, a European wagon conductor cutting the yoke away and armed African wagon worker; (the yoke and a loose musket are also supplied). Perfect for playing convoy ambush scenarios. This was a constant problem and a positive nightmare in any kind of defile, when the dead-weight of any slain oxen would have to be hauled clear of the road by work parties operating under heavy fire. The image below is illustrative. From a point of view of model-making and game play purposes alike, we think the best course is not to mess with the integrity of a three-pair team, but to demonstrate immobilsation at the relevant point in the game by simply placing the THEM 32 set at the front of the team. As there were ten to twelve pair of oxen in a real life team, suddenly going from three to four pair on the tabletop is of no account!
