Battle of Charlotte v2

Tonight at the club we fought out a more complete version of the Battle of Charlotte scenario that I blogged about a few months ago. I took pictures during the game.

Here are the "naked" terrain boards:A small farm lying north of Charlotte:

A view of the battlefield looking south east:

The small town of Charlotte, the courthouse dominating the town on its brick pillars:

The british forces assemble off-table:

The defenders take position in Charlotte:

The first wave of attackers enter the fray:

The american wagons wend their way out of town lookink for escape past the milita lines and over the river:

The British Legion foot make it through the town and take up position along the road:

The milita of the second line prepare to defend the fence line:

The wagons see safety in sight:

The British bring up the 23rd and 33rd Foot:

The 33rd run into trouble while in march column:

Here the scenario ended. The wagons had escaped, although things were very close and the British had suffered through their cavalry failing numerous command rolls. C'est la vie!
