Musket Action: AWI

It was Mike's turn to be introduced to Musket Action tonight.
Mike's Brit v. Jim's Colonials.

The Brits are on the far side. Unfortunately the cameraman missed the first 2 turns.
Colonial Militia has occupied half the village, Hessians have occupied the other half.  British vets have moved up to support the Hessians left.
On the near flank Colonial regulars have moved around the wood to threaten the British flank.
On the far flank the British Indian allies are being faced by woodsmen on the creek line. 

The Colonial commander got a bit careless on the right flank & most of the Colonial Regulars have been ridden down by the British cavalry.

The Militia in the village are holding firm against the Hessians.  To the right of the village the Militia is trying to attack the disorganised British Regs but just aren't aren't well enough trained to do it well.   British cavalry is sweeping around the wood into the Colonial rear.   

On the left the Indians were getting the worst of it & have retreated before losing any units.  The stalemate in the village goes on.  The Militia on the right have had to turn 2 units around to cover their rear against the British cavalry, weakening their front line. 

The British vets have finally got their line sorted & the Colonial left is melting away under their superior musket fire.  Next turn the Colonials fail their army morale test.

The Colonials never recovered from the devastating charge of the British cavalry.  The incident pointed to a possible shortcoming in the inf v. cav rules, but the fact was the Colonial general took a risk he didn't need to take, then threw such crap dice that the rule didn't matter anyway.  With no regular troops apart from 2 light guns left to help, the Militia in the village did ok, but the brigade in the open was outflanked & outclassed.
