Musket Action: French & Indian Wars

Jim's French v. Chris' British
The two bridges & the two house are objectives.
Boths sides have regular infantry battalion with various supports.  The Brits have artillery, cavalry & some colonial regulars & woodsmen.  The French had some Canadian militia & Indians.
The game started with a deployment turn with units being put down up to 18" from own baseline.  The French are on the far side.
Both sides advance strong forces in the centre to seize half the village. 
The French have been losing casualties but have pushed on over the creek & now have their grenadiers poised to assault to British held house. A bunch of Indians are hodding the French line between the bridges.  The British cavalry have driven back the Indians on the French left.
The French grenadiers have taken the house so the French now have 3 of the 4 objectives.  But the British are pushing around both flanks.

The Fench have lost many more casualties than the British & their right has been rolled up, but they have held onto the objectives at the and of turn 7 to win.
