  • The Battle of Orc's Drift was a little known war between the British Army based in Rhodesia and a horde of Orc's who had laid claim to the area, known as 'Orc's Drift'. The British Army had conquered most of Africa and had annexed the main part of Rhodesia, most we're happy about this, the leader of the Orc's, Saruman, was not. Saruman threatened mob action against all non Orcs in the territory if the British didn't stop advancing. The British now saw a chance to launch an invasion, claiming they were there to protect the non-Orcs. The British Army on the 22nd of January 1879 sent a small band of 30 men into Orc's Drift. Sadly, 7 of the 30 left the party after misinterpreting a passage from the Bible, exactly what passage it was, we're not sure, maybe John 13. The 23 remaining trooper headed to the heartland of [Orc's Drift and set up camp at a local English style bar named 'Gallagher's'. After spending nearly 30 minutes inside, Platoon Commander, Lord Snooty, spotted an Orc patrol coming in their direction. The troops quickly finished their tea and cucumber sandwiches and manned the ramparts outside.
