Place is pretty much in lockdown due to Corona so we've taken the chance to play a AWI game, the patriots (left) are attacking a hessian camp full of redoubts
Stark leds the assault (pity he left his suit at home)
Hessians in the advanced redoubt
They deploy in line to fire better
Early in the battle Breymann comes in with the reinforcements
The americans move in a double pincer
Flanking right
And left
A lively fire soon erupts in the center
The militia has reached the british rear, but the reinforcements arrive to plug the gap
The forward redoubt is evacuated by outflanked mercenaries
A deadly crossfire batters the militia
The supplies are in danger so a batallion of hessians wheels about
The germans charge the milita
Who surprisingly repels them
More milita deploy in line to menace the center
The hessians fall back, but with a crashing volley send the rebels packing
The avantgarde deploys into line to counter the attack
Time has run out and the patriots retire form the field, leaving a battered but intact german force that rejoins Burgoyne's army with vital supplies
Go you Hessians! --at least the 'Good guys' won!
