Wow, super battle report.
Excellent terrain and figures.
It looked to me that midway of the battle they British were going to win.
Surprised that the Americans pulled it out.
Any reasons why?
Kind of looks to me the British ran out of bodies.
Thanks for sharing.

I think that's right, they just ran our. Our tactic of falling back to a second line of defence worked well on the flanks and by the time they made it to our second lines they lacked the manpower to make much impact. The militia fought well, but that was more down to lucky rolls on the morale rolls.

Lovely !

Thanks but I would have to refer you to Al who makes all the terrain. I will see if I can get him to give any of his trade secrets away.

Beautiful! I like the basing schemes, 5 bases, 2 ranks.
