SYW Global Campaign - 1758, Britain vs France

 Britain invades (French) New York


FR 250 pts vs BR 250 pts

This is one of the two games we played to resolve this battle.

Starting deployment, with the British at the bottom.


At the end of round 1, now from the French perspective. The two sides are inching towards the river, slowly.


At the start of turn 2, the French infantry secure the center town, and wait for the British from across the river.


By turn 3, the two sides finally make contact. Combats start to go down on the French left/British right.


Meanwhile, the Quebec militia try to sneak past the British line and make a run for the undefended British camp.


The British try to shoot the French away from across the river, hoping to drive the entire army away before they lose their camp, with some success.


By turns 4, the French left starts to disappear under the British shooting and charges.


Fueled by their success but also getting more desperate, the British troops charge across the river in an attempt to take the center town. However, the charge is unsuccessful, causing heavy attrition to the troops, and killing the sub-commander James Murray.


After milling around for rounds, the Quebec militia finally makes it to the British camp.


At the end of turn 4, the British, after losing their camp, run away. Unfortunately, due to heavy casualties, the French also run away at the same time. The game ends in a draw.
