AGEOD: The Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 Part I

My knowledge of this conflict is minimal.  I became interested in playing Pride of Nations today with the release of a new update with improved AI. According to the announcement, the update brought the game up to the same standard as the newer AGEOD games. I was eager to see what that meant for the game, so I jumped into the 40 turn Sepoy Mutiny instead of something bigger like the Boer War. The rebellion starts outside of Delhi in the center of the country and quickly spreads across central India.  This opening screen explains why the 3rd Bengal cavalry chose to begin the revolt and what happened at Meerut.  By the end of Turn 1 Delhi has fallen. My first offensive response is to send one of my more aggressive commanders MG Henry Barnard (3-2-1) from the Peshawar Depot at the head of an all Indian force of  two infantry detachments and a cavalry brigade into neighboring Attock.
