Sounds like it was a great day! Looking forward to seeing those pictures! I am still slowly but surely working on a M&T project myself. I had a huge clearout by getting rid of a load of projects, and now I look around and see I'm back to how I was

OK, for starters check out Graham's blog:

he'll be filling out more detail later, and I have a load of pictures that I'll try to get time to sort soon

I loved the way the 3 skirmishes set the scene for the big engagement

To start off here are some of the pics of the Wood Cutters scenario (first of the 3 smaller ones that built up to the bigger one).

The wood cutting party found themselves under attack by Canadian Militia and French-allied Indians, they held out bravely for the expected and much hoped-for relief from a party of rangers, which sadly for them, never came, leaving them to be decimated by their attackers.

A unit of Canadian Militia accompanied by their officer move in on a settlement in the second scenario "Raid". All 3 of the first batch of scenarios ran simultaneously

Only just noticed this. 15 minutes away and I missed it!

It looked like a good game.

There's always next time

Graham's planning another one, probably in July, I'll post details up on here, hoping I can make that one too

The 2nd starter scenario involved Leigh attacking a small settlement with a unit of Canadian Militia and officer and 3 bands of Huron Warriors and a sachem.

I was defending with a unit of Provincials and officer, and 2 units of militia and officer. Help may arrive in the form of a unit of Rangers and a band of Mohawk warriors – if either should arrive in time.

The Canadian Militia engaged the colonial militia unit on my right flank while two of the Huron war bands crossed the river to attack the Provincials and try to set fire to the nearest cabin. The Huron war band attempting to set fire to the cabin took casualties to fire from Provincials inside the cabin and fled back to the river, but the other band in a cultivated field continued to engage the Provincials behind the barricades, meanwhile, the Huron leader persisted in setting the cabin ablaze, causing it to be evacuated.

The colonial militia on the flank took heavy casualties to fire from the Canadians.

The second militia unit move in on the flank of the Canadians and begin to whittle them down. The Mohawk have appeared behind the Huron and have started to inflict casualties on one of their bands.

Mohawk to the rescue! Lovely figures, and those buildings are great!

Thanks Gibby

, both buildings are by 4Ground - we stock 'em.

The rangers also put in a timely appearance at the other side of the settlement

Two of the Huron war parties have been driven back.

The remaining Canadian Militia are driven away, but return for just long enough to complete the firing of the two-storey building. The chaps standing in the background off to the top right are not reinforcements, but are the other party of militiamen slaughtered by the Canadians in their assault and since removed from play

The Raid scenario was brought to an end about this point, with honours pretty much even.
