Crysler's Farm (sort of)

So the other weekend out came my War of 1812 stuff. Here is the result a battle using Black powder based on The Battle of Crysler's Farm in 1813.


The Deployment, The British with Light Infantry and Indians along the wall on the edge of the lane. The Americans advancing across the fields.




Deployment from the British point of view. 2 British battalions and a Canadian militia form the British 2nd Line.



The initial fight goes against the British. A Blundered order pulls the Light infantry back.


Then the Indians break after a volly from the advancing US infantry.



The Light Infantry make it back to the wall, but are defeated by a US bayonet charge.



On the right the Americans advance unaposed till they reach the 2nd line and engage the British.


More Americans joint the fight


Eventually the British battalion fails a break test.



These last two photos show, the remaining British troops pull back. But the Americans hold the field, with more troops marching up to join them
