Sunday Musket Action: AWI

Jim's British v. Chris' Colonials
There are 3 objective - the road junctions & the bridge.  Pics taken from behind the Colonial lines
The Brits have advanced quickly to seize the objectives.  They have Indians to hold the house on the right &  in the field on the left. The British Indians are opposed by woodsmen. 
The Brits have put an infantry coy in the house on the left while 2 line & a grenadier coy slog it out with 4 regular Colonial coys.  On the other side of the creek thet are disrupting the Colonial milita's advance with artillery, light infantry & cavalry. One squadron charged & broke the front coy only to be destroyed when it tried to charge on over the 2nd line.
 There is a hot exchange of fire all along the line with casualties mounting on both sides.
At the end of turn 6 the Brits hold the LH objective & the other 2 are in dispute.

Although the dice decreed game over after turn 6 we did another turn anyway.  It resulted in much needless slaughter without changing the outcome.

Is the cat one of the disputed objectives?

Just an interested spectator.

A green tabletop instead of the usual brown! Looks nice. :-)
