American War of Independence with Hail Napoleon

We'd developed Musket Action so we could fight AWI & F&IW battles with a limited number of troops.  But the numbers kept growing & we now have enough to fight the era using Hail Napoleon.
The Scenario:

Brits: Chris, John & Steve
Colonials: Mike, Jim & Mark

The British are deployed on the left.  2 Colonial brigades hold the village with reinforcements on the way from the right.

The British are softening up the Colonials with cannon & musket fire but the French column is already on the table.

The first British charge on the village on the far side has been repulsed as the Hessians are still advancing in the centre. The French are deploying to the left to face the Royalist infantry & British cavalry.  On the near woodsmen skirmish with the Brits Indian allies. 
The French cavalry have charged on the left of the village.  The Colonials in the village are still holding the British vets off.  

The French cavalry have punched a hole through the enemy infantry but have been stopped by the cavalry behind.  The infantry in the village are still holding on despite being attacked by artillery from one side & veteran infantry on the other.

The Colonial reinforcements are slow in their advance, but so are the Hessians.

The French cavalry have fallen back to let their artillery space to fire.  The Colonials on the left of the village have fallen back, but not broken allowing the French to take over their position.  The Hessians have finally charged home, but are not doing well. 

The French have taken over the defence on the left where the Brits have run out of steam & the Loyalists are being blasted apart while the Hessians have also been repelled on the right.  And the Colonial reserves have only just started deploying. 

The British have conceded the battle & begun a withdrawal.


The Colonials put up an amazing fight in the village (sound enough defence, but a lot of good luck as well).  The French cavalry charge also severely disrupted the British attack & took some pressure off. The skirmishing on the near flank was a side show.
