Tonight's game was a short one due to late shift work. Our host forgot to take sequential photos so, what is shown is the situation at the end of the session.
The 18th U.S. Militia Regiment of the Seventh Brigade join the LA infantry in the fire fight against Norton's Mohawks.
It looks like BGen Wadsworth Seventh Brigade, closely followed by 19th N.Y. Militia Regiment is coming to the aid of the 18th Militia Regiment in the attack against the Mohawks.
The American 8 Inch Mortar is slowly making its way up the heights at half speed while a 6 pdr is about to move out towards the action in Queenston.
Wisely, what is left of the 2nd Artillery Infantry is repatriated to the American shore to avoid Brigade Morale impacts while Lt Towson's 2nd Artillery gunners embark.
Major-General Van Rensselaer directs the battle in Queenston.
Left to right, the 20th and 17th American militia occupy two buildings and are engaged with Canadian Flank Coy militia in the church.
American gunners now man the Canadian 9 pdr and are about to unleash some canister on the FALTERED 41st Light Company, while the 16th U.S. Militia Regt is in support. This could get ugly!
Hopkins's Rifles are engaging Canadian militia defending a wooden house.
Captain Holcroft's Battery of 6 pdr and 5.5 inch howitzer cross the bridge at the north end of Queenston. General Brock appears to be directing Capt. Holcroft to join the battle.
The 41st center companies are marching southward from Vrooman's Point.
Capt. Crowther's Lincoln Artillery moves off the road to allow the Provincial Light Dragoons and various U.C. Militia units and Cayuga Natives to march past on their way to Queenston.
It appears that the battle is reaching another turning point in Queenston. Will the American use of the 9 pdr wreck havoc upon the 41st L.C? Will Holcroft's Battery join the battle in time to steady the British/Canadian line? Stay tuned.
