AWI Musket Action

British: Mike & Steve.
French & Colonials: Mark & Jim. 
Rules: Musket Action = Bolt Action house ruled for the black powder era.
Scenario: 5 objectives - winner determine don objective held at the end.  Casualties as tie breaker.
Set up: Turn 0: Place units as dice drawn within 18" of own edge (no moving or firing allowed). 

The French are on the left. The objectives are: The church, the farmhouse, the two ridges near the centre & the road exit on the near edge (just out of shot).

The Brits rush light troops forward to grab the church & farmhouse.  The French advance in the centre.  The Brits send the Hessians forward left of centre but hold back on their ridge with the Brit regs.  Both side's send their cavalry to grab the objective near the near table edge.  The subsequent cavalry fight was a disaster for the French. They lost both cavalry troops while inflicting minimal losses on the enemy.

The battle is joined all along the line with exchanges of musketry.

The British cavalry are wrapping around the French right. Two colonial coys turn the face them as 3 others take on a Hessian battalion in the orchard.  The French Grenadiers have now advanced on the left of the orchard.

The French grenadiers ahve made a hole in the British line & are ready to attack the ridge.  The  Hessians have fallen back of the orchard to cover their flank.  The British dragoons have disposed on one infantry coy.

On the last turn the French desperately attacked the church & farmhouse but British Indians & Canadian Milita held on to them.  The Grenadiers did take the ridge, but it's still a clear British victory.

It was very likely all decided by the cavalry fight in turn 2.  The decisive British cavalry win not only gave them an objective but meant two Colonial coys had to pulled out of the attack on the farmhouse to cover the exposed French flank.  If the cavalry had gone the other way, the French would not only have taken that objective but the farmhouse surely wouldn't have held out either.
