After a long holiday hiatus we resumed on a cold Friday afternoon in the New Year. The following represents the end state after our second session.
General Brock gave orders to move all brigades towards the St David's road with a view to attack the American left flank
The U.S. Seventh N.Y. Militia Brigade takes heavy casualties while engaging a British six pounder. However, the militia has killed two gunners.
The Cayuga's (bottom right) position themselves to support their fellow Mohawks (upper centre).
The provincial Light Dragoons (bottom right) are basking in glory having recently surprised and destroyed an American gun crew (upper right abandoned gun) while the rest of Shaeffe's brigade moves up the heights to attack the exposed American left flank.
A close up of Shaeffe's brigade moving to attack the Yanks. In the foreground right Crowther's 3 pdr, center the 41st, right center the Lincoln Flank Coys and top left the 49th Flank Coys engaging the American regulars.
Another look at Lincoln Flank Coys trying to get around the American left flank.
The Americans bring up a six pounder to protect its left flank and counter Shaeffe's flanking move.
The Chippewa brigade led by LCol. Clarke has arrived and is engaged with the U.S. Sixth brigade of New York Volunteers.
A close up of the aforementioned engagement.
It appears that the arrival of the Chippewa Brigade will change the balance significantly, although the 6th brigade was prepared for their arrival. The question is whether or not Shaeffe's Brigade will be able to completely turn the American flank.
Stay tuned!
