Queenston Heights Redux - Session Three

The following photos represent the end state at turn 1520 hours.

 

 

After a short hiatus in Queenston village, Brock has moved up to the scene of the action.

After a series of charges, melees and pursuits, the Provincial Light Dragoons have driven the 20th Regiment of the Seventh N.Y Militia Brigade to the Niagara River ultimately destroying it. Is there no seeming end to the string of victories by this amateur cavalry unit?

The remnants of the remaining two U.S. Regiments of the Seventh brigade fall back towards the Redan.  The 20th heads towards the dragoons at the river.

The 41st engages the American Regular Brigade and Lincoln Flank Coys move up to the 41st right flank while Runchey's militia Coy is in support (bottom left).

One of brock's aides heads out with orders for the Chippewa Brigade.

 The U.S. Sixth Brigade fell back to support the left flank of the Regular Brigade.

 Some of the brigade man the farmhouse while Hopkins's New York Rifles screen the brigade from the Chippewa brigade.

A much depleted mortar battery engages the Chippewa brigade at the extreme left of the American line.

At the conclusion of this session the Americans have withdrawn slightly and realigned their front on a north south axis while the British and Canadians are still maneuvering to fully engage the enemy. The Chippewa brigade appears static but Brock's orders are on the way. There is only twenty minutes until sunset and reduced visibility. Will the Americans be able to hold on until darkness in the face of an overwhelming British/Canadian division led by the aggressive General Brock? Stay tuned!
