Title: Raid on Fort William Henry (Updated with Batrep)
Post by: sotek486 on March 22, 2016, 08:39:08 PM

Hello all,

I just posted up a scenario on my blog for an upcoming convention.  The scenario is called Raid On Fort William Henry and takes place during May of 1757.  In this scenario a strong force of French, Indians and Canadian launch a raid against British work parties in area of Fort William Henry in order to disrupt operations in the area ahead of the planned August siege.

Here is a map of the table setup:

I played my first game using MaT last weekend at a meeting of The League of Gentlemen Wargamers in Scotland. What a blast the rules are and I plan on getting some forces of my own together for this. Now completely hooked, I look forward to your report. I wonder, you might be interested in this link.
