Musket Action: AWI

Dave's Continentals v. Jim's Brits. 1.500 pts.

The Brits are on the left.  They have made a general advance in the first turn.  

The British deployment has Indians on their left, British vets in the centre, Hessian regulars & cavalry on their right.  The Continentals have Regular infantry in the centre & Militia on both flanks.

On the far flank, the Colonial riflemen inflicted serious casualties on the British left until the Indians came up between them.  On the near flank the Militia were no match for the British cavalry.  

The riflemen have fallen back in the face of superior numbers of Indians.  On the near flank the militia have occupied the farmhouse & field while the Brits build up forces to attack them.   The cavalry are withdrawing rather than run the gauntlet past the farmhouse.

The Hessians have broken the forward unit of Militia in the farmyard.  In the centre the British vets are getting the better of the musketry duel with the Continental regulars. 

The Continental left has evaporated under converging firepower & the Continentals fail their Army Break test. 

It was a decisive victory for the Brits who have broken the Continental army without losing a unit.  The Continental commander made some serious strategic mistakes & the British commander exploited them ruthlessly.  The Continental brigade on their right did nothing.  The militia on their left were left in the open, vulnerable against cavalry.  The cavalry advance allowed the Hessians to overlap the Continental left & chew it up.
