A powerful British unit consisting of three units of infantry and one of Grenadiers screened by Provincial Rangers clashed with two units of French Marines accompanied by two groups of Malice Canadien and a war party consisting of two groups of Native Americans allies.
As the British line formed and advanced, the Malice Canadien took advantage of cover and looses a couple of volleys into the line. Killing a leader for a perfect start. Soon there after the line responded with volleys of withering fire obliging the Malice Canadien to withdraw and subsequently breaking them.
Meanwhile on the right flank, the second group of Malice Canadien made good progress through the woods flanking the British line. They caught a group of Provincial Rangers out in the open a where lucky enough to draw first blood. However, in the following turns the Rangers struck back audaciously charging into the woods and while loosing they, did enough damage to mean the Malice Canadien could not push home their early advantage.
Now the French needed their No.1 ‘Big Man’ card to come out to allow them to move the Jump of Point up the Flank to employ an ambuscade on the British Line as it advanced. Frustratingly, no number one card would come out for around four turns. It was a case of remaining patient. At long last the Big Man’s card came out and the French Marine Infantry could return fire and the moveable deployment point moved up through the woods.
At last it was time to strike, the second group from the Native American war party deployed, firing in to the provincial skirmishers. On the Following turn it was their chance to charge through a cloud of smoke , and, yes they ended up short by a couple of inches!
On to the next turn they had to come out First, yes, and charged against a group of Provincials carrying Shock. They managed to one success with all their dice. Thereby loosing the fisticuffs and being driven back into the woods.
The British line continued to advance there was one chance left the final group of Braves deployed to charge the Flank of the advancing British Line the Grenadiers peeled off to face the threat. Whose card would come out First? On three 'Flags' the War party activated and slammed into the depleted init of Grenadiers sending them running. Despite this late success, the Marine Infantry were obliged to withdraw due to the conditioned weight of fire reduced the Force Morale to zero forcing the French and their Native American allies to quit the field.
