Outpost Actions Guadeloupe 1759

[mluther]

Another older game from our GB Historical Day event  I am a great fan of the 'Wargaming the Sugar Islands Campaign" booklet by Stuart Insch and thought this game  would be a nice addition to our July 2021 event.  Colorful Seven Year War troops in a unique setting always make for an interesting battle.
This scenario was based on 'Outpost Actions' scenario on Guadeloupe in April 1759.   The British are to sally from Fort Royal and attack the French in the more "open" terrain 
15mm minis and Sharp Practice rules.
