For
Breakpoint purposes,
Jagers only counted as half a point. Plus we used a Recoil Casualty system for this one. Small bits of gravel being used as markers. Hence a lot of casualties occurred later in the game.
A mighty scrap indeed, this one took a few sittings. Well where did it go wrong for the Jack & Amy's American/French connection..? It was bright start, I did think that the British centre was going to break, because the combats went to the horror's. The failure to destroy the two British Grenadiers was the turning point. Lafayette's command had shocking
PiPs throughout the game which was also a shame. Well the Revolution will have to wait a little bit longer!
