Oddball Adventure series

· The Lighthorsemen · by Simon Wincer

This Oddball Adventure is set in Palestine during World War I.  British forces have dueled the Germans and Turks to a standstill, and the commanders are looking for a way to break the deadlock.  An Australian Light Horse regiment is brought into the fray, but their mounts represent both an advantage and a vulnerability:  water is scarce, with many of the sources controlled by the enemy.  If the Aussies advance and can’t secure a copious source of water for the horses, the result will be a catastrophe.
