As part of the testing, the British army conducted some hasty attacks as soon as they ran into the French army. They didn’t go too well and casualties mounted, however, there is no morale factored in the game… yet. Montcalm’s troops were putting up stiff resistance around the saw mill and Bernetz Brook. As his army retreated back towards the famous hills, skirmishers and other screening forces were trying desperately to buy some time to allow the rest to construct defensive works.
The vanguard of the British regulars along with some supporting light infantry companies pulled back towards the brook to deal with the entrenchments they bypassed earlier. An overwhelming assault was mounted against the La Reine brigade which suffered catastrophical losses due to, well, the roll of luck, and was thrown out of the position in confusion. In the meantime, on the south side of the river, British and Provincial troops made a push on the redoubts prepared before the British landing. Although they stormed the position, they could not make it any further.
Ultimately, the remaining French pulled out by using boats and canoes. Artillery had to be left behind and it was quickly taken over by the British during their movement phase. On the other hand, sloppy play had left some precious British supply unprotected, and the French made a dash for it capturing more supplies to replenish their dwindling stores and improve that (un-factored) morale. It was hauled in their retreat back into Fort Carillon.
The leader counters above are fresh – (almost) the latest version although I did make additional changes tonight so these are obsolete now! I mean I made them yesterday! The rest are old, some really old, and as can be seen, we just ran out of stuff and replaced some of the abatis with blank chits.
