BOOM! The American Guns are bang on again...

The British line in the centre is looking thin.

French Infantry attack the cornfield held by the British Lights.
However the French Indians fall to the Rangers firepower.

"Come on Chaps!" Tarleton leads a force to attack the French flank.

A view from 'Hessian Hill', again poor PiPs let down Jack & Amy.

Jack attacks the British Grenadiers, if he could break these two units,
then the British centre would collapse.

Hessian Jagers vs American Jagers - scratch one German mercenary.

Overview of the Battle, the French are on the verge of collapse, but so is the British centre.

The Hessian's manage to reinforce the British line, but the hill is going to be left lightly defended.

The poor French are taking a beating, Arnold sends forward the Brits to finish them off.

Slowly the Americans are winning on 'Hessian Hill', but would it be too late?

Washington can only look on as some more infantry are destroyed.

A brief ray of hope for the French.... Back go the British Grenadiers.

But NO! Another French casualty & it's not looking good for Jack & Amy.
With that the, French force is DEMORALIZED (we placed yellow markers to represent this).

Yet another excellent battle report! They are so well illustrated and captioned that it almost feels like I was there playing it with you.
I always enjoy reading your blog entries - they really do communicate enjoyment and fun!

Cheers Bob, thanks for the nice comments. I like the variant 'When Empires Clash' Rules - well done! The Army lists will give me something to ponder.
(We're building Indian Mutiny & North West Frontier armies at the moment..)
Cheers

Looks like I'm following you all the way Mr. F. Though I'm more of a mid-18th C. enthusiast myself. I love your AWI battle reports, and especially the terrain.
And, like yourself, I'm just starting to collect figures (15mm scale) for a NW Frontier game (probably set around 1880-1900).
So I'll be coming back to read on a regular basis.
Steve.
Cheers Steve.
I've got some time off from work shortly, so hopefully we'll get a few more games done. Our Indian Mutiny armies are nearly done, so I'll get them some pics up soon.
All the Best
MrF Jack & Amy
