![The reconstructed fort is a wooden log construction, painted brown, roughly a single story tall. There are four flagpoles, from which fly a variety of flags, including the American flag and a British Union Jack. Mountains are visible in the background.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/William_Henry_side.jpg/450px-William_Henry_side.jpg)
Our first game involved a meeting engagement between French/Indian and British light forces in a heavily wooded area near the fort.
In this game the activation cards played a large role in the outcome of the game, partly due to the limited number of troop types on each side. In turn 1 the French had almost all of the activations first, so they pressed forward but found the British lights were then able to attack them casuing a fair bit of damage to the Indians and Canadian militia.

Turn 2 was the same with the French again getting most of their activations first. This time though, with the range now quite short, they were able to launch a devastating series of attacks on the British.

As we hit turn 3 the British were surrounded and badly depleted as the French moved in for a convincing victory. So first blood to the French!

Are you playing the table as wooded apart from designated clear areas ?
ReplyDeleteIn this battle yes - the clearings are the marked areas
