Scouting the woods turned into a slaughter (M&T AAR)

[Anatoli]

Thomas and I managed to squeeze in a game of Muskets & Tomahawks this weekend as well, it was nice to give the game some attention - I had not played it since I bought my own rulebook at Salute. Thomas had been busy with real life stuff so it wasn't until this weekend that we could get together for a game. Though we had a small planning misunderstanding, which left us with just my collection of miniatures to play with, we still managed to split my collection into two playable roughly 260 point strong forces.

The British side was made up of

1x Provincial Officer
1x Irregular Officer (Mel Gibson "Patriot" mini)
2x 10 Provincial soldiers
2x 6 British Colonial Militia
1x 6 Indian allies - with rifles

The French were made up of:

1x Regular Officer
1x 10 French Marines (deployed as regulars)
1x 10 French regulars
1x 6 Indian allies - with rifles

Both sides ended up rolling the reconnaissance/scouting scenario which requires units to move into each quarter of the table and then have the friendly force withdraw from battle with at least 30% of its troops intact.

The side plot for the French was "I will never forget his face", which is all about picking an enemy model and having your officer enact revenge upon him for some old grudge. The British irregular officer was chosen to be the target of the grudge.

The side plot for the British was "I'll prove my worth", which was ironically determined to belong to the Mel Gibson mini and funnier still was about killing at least 3 enemy soldiers in close combat (the Patriot style!!).
