The Battle of Breed's ('Bunker') Hill 1775
« on: October 12, 2022, 07:07:04 PM »
Last week at club we had a very 'enjoyable' refight of the Battle of Breed's/Bunker Hill, though once again, I managed to snatch a humiliating defeat from the jaws of victory (it's a rare gift)...

I posted the scenario last time:

Nicely done and nicely related. A pity that the tea-despoiling tax evaders didn’t get their comeuppance. Now they’ll just create some absurd foundation myth that describes the whole thing as a ‘revolution’ and suffer the consequences of their hubris for centuries to come. :D

Lovely looking game. And what a stomping! Hmm, best leave those colonists alone. they seem to be in quite a mood.  lol
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

What a splendidly played and reported affair!  Except for the whole "not taking the works" part, it seems to have been a historically accurate day for His Majesty's goons, er, I mean, troops.  But it did take more than one expensive stab at it for the British to win the day.  In any event, well done lad! :D

Thanks fellas.  Yes, if we'd had longer to play, we'd have gone for a bit of artillery prep first and then put in a second attack with Clinton, but time was pressing.  We'd originally planned to play it over a whole Saturday, but sickness stopped play on that occasion and we were just left with an evening, sadly.

A.  I had to beat him as a warning to others when he got out of hospital.

B.  We will when his bones re-set.

That’s a splendid looking game, and the scenario is always quite daunting for the British
