Protect the Supplies

Arriving at Enoch's farm the advanced Company of the 20th foot have left their supplies under a light guard and set out to scout the track to Cox's Crossing and back to the North River.  The French meanwhile have filtered through the woods and approached the Camp at Enoch's farm, lead by that traitor ... Enoch Petain... 

This game is slightly out of sequence since I have had to do a redesign on my bridge for game 3.  Instead of building piles of supplies I used the rafts from the river game, pulled ashore here, which have... piles of supplies aboard!

The Company of the Regt de Lorraine, under Lieutenant Etienne de Grande-Boules, The Fighting Peacock

British reinforcements fro the flank.  The mighty Grenadiers of the 20th come on in March Attack!

But the British can't deploy from the track properly

The French adjust their line and get ready to meet the attack

Meanwhile a group makes for the camp.

Native Americans come out of the dense terrain and attack Wagstaff's Militia line.

The Militia do not have a chance

That's four casualties on a group with four men.  Wagstaff rethinks his career options and makes for the boat...

 

The regt de Lorraine platoon fire their two groups in line.  Five casualties (above) followed by another one.

 

And the French battalion gun finally rolls into position and enfilades the British.    2nd Lt the Hon, Richard "Wheezer" Barfe-Chunks, 20th Foot,  consults his pocket watch and decides its time to withdraw.

With the French and Natives swarming the camp the game is lost.

Militia Lieutenant Quincy Wagstaff Adams escapes with his remaining men.  Not a glorious start to his Military career!
