British: Jim, Mike & SteveD.
Continentals: Mark, PeterW & Chris
A gathering of much of the old mob from the 70's: PeterW, SteveD, Renfrey, Jim, Chris & Mark
The British are on the near side. They are advancing their left & centre, holding back on their right. The Continental army has Miltitia on the far flank, regulars & woodsmen in the centre & their French allies on their left.
The fighting begins with the woodsmen taking the farmhouse.
On the far flank the militia are slowly advancing on a weak British left. In the centre the Brits are attacking the farm house & deploying in the field & orchard to meet the French infantry. The Hesian infantry overlapped the French left & broke the end unit with musketry.
The British infantry have taken the farmhouse. The French infantry have pulled back while their cavalry charged the Hessian infantry, but were repelled.
On the far flank some Indians in the woods & a grenadier battalion delay the attack of the Continental militia. In the centre the woodsmen have fallen back. On the right, the British keeping the presuure on the French.
The French infantry have been broken by musket fire. Their cavalry has survived a British cavalry attack, but with significant losses.
The French cavalry have been broken by the English horse. The Grenadiers are still holding off the militia on the left. British infantry is advancing on the right of the farm.
In the next turn the 2 Continental regular batalions in the centre are broken by British musketry & the Continental army breaks.
Tonight we tried out a couple of rule changes born out of last week's post battle discussion. They worked very well with no new issues arising. I think
Musket Action is now past the play testing stage.
This will be the last Camp Cromwell battle for while as Chris & I are about to go bush for a week before invading India with Renfrey & PeterW. But there should be reports on the battlefields of the Indian mutiny & Sikh Wars on the blog during March & normal service resuming in April.
