The Ohio valley was the scene of many bloody skirmishes during the French Indian Wars.  This was one of those. Bucko and Dave K were the British and French respectively. The rules were Rebels and Patriots.

Roger and his rock?

One French Huron warband suffers four disorder markers and flees the valley.

Meanwhile one of the Ranger’s are at half strength and permanetly disordered. The resulting leader test sees their leader succumb to a musket wound.

The second Huron warband moves forward.

The return fire also sees the Indian leader fall and the second French Indian unit flee in rout.

The French Line infantry finally come within shooting range and promptly roll badly for their shooting test and suffer 2 disorder markers.

With the French now at one third of their original strength they flee the valley leaving it once more in British hands.

The piece-meal advance of the French allowed the superior quality British troops to pick them off one at a time with the inevitable result.

A great game enjoyed by all.
