We used the same armies as last week but tweaked the terrain a bit & used a simple free-for-scenario with blind deployment. This week Jim, Chris & Steve were the Brits & Mike, Mark & John the Colonials.
The British on the right have had the first move. They have:
- Their British vets on their left with their cavalry on their flank.
- Light infantry & Hessians advancing into the farm with guns eitehr side.
- Loyalist infantry on the far flank with Indian allies.
The Colonials have 2 Colonial brigades on each flank with the French & cavalry in the centre.
Their artillery is also in the centre & woodsmen on each flank.
The Brits advance their centre & left. The French send their cavalry to the right. Colonial infantry move up to the crest to fire at the Brits.
The French cavalry & Colonial infantry launch a counterattack on the British left.
In the centre the Brits are trying to neutralise the French guns with skirmishers & have advanced their guns to enfilade the Colonials on the ridge.
The French & Colonial counterattack was blessed with fearsome dice & the British left has been mauled & forced back. The French infantry have advanced to add pressure on the British vets. The Colonials left of centre are attacking the Hessians in front of the farm. On the far flank both sides are trying to attack despite their poor command ratings.
The French & Colonials have renewed their attack on the British right. The British cavalry has broken & their vets are in deep trouble.
The British attack on the far flank is finally making progress & the Hessians are more than holding their own in the centre, but the British infantry are under attack by ring of infantry & cavalry.
The British infantry have broken & it game over as they fail their Army Break Test (fail on losing 3 brigades, or 2 if one is the British infantry).
So our pair of battle in successive weeks have both been wins for the Colonials.
