The Giant Bombardon

tory Synopsis

It is 1853, the year of the Crimean War. A major offensive by the Russian Army has forced a British regiment stationed outside the fortified city of Sebastapol to retreat an entire quarter of an inch. Thoroughly scandalised by the scale of this disaster, Major Bloodnok sends Leftenant Neddie Seagoon back to England to arrange for the construction of a mighty weapon that will breach the walls of the fortified city: a giant bombardon.
