Another short evening as we only completed six turns. The following represents the end state at 1210 hours.
In the left foreground Captain Crowther of the 1st Lincoln Artillery are leading Cayuga natives to the fighting in Queenston.
Captain Holcroft's howitzer and gun are causing canister casualties to N.Y. militia gunners manning the former Canadian 9 pounder gun. General Brock is directing more troops to the action.
The 41st center companies move to the right of Holcroft's guns while the Provincial Light Dragoons move to secure Brock's right flank.
An American mortar and six pounder prepare to engage the British/Canadians in and around Queenston from the lower heights. A militia battalion of BGen Wadsworth's Seventh Brigade is supporting the guns.
The 18th regiment of BGen Wadsworth's Seventh Brigade continues to engage Norton's Mohawks with supporting artillery fire from Fort Gray, which causes more native casualties. As the Mohawks are below 50% they must conduct a morale check every turn, which causes them to falter frquently.
In the foreground MGen Van Rensselaer observes the action and is reasonably satisfied as his army has secured the beachhead, the heights and half the buildings of Queenston. The impetus favours the American Army but can they exploit this advantage before the full weight of British and Canadian reinforcements is effected.
