A hard fought 7-4 to the British. Greene's whole brigade was pushed out of the wood on turn 1 with a British Line Volley backed with 3 Ranged Infantry Bonus cards, one for each unit firing. The Americans lost no casualties but multiple retreats they couldn't ignore pushed them all out. The Grenadiers punched through aided by Agnew and his attached Regulars whilst Grant and Stirn chased off the Militia. Some Americans got off the board at the road to get some banners but that initial volley put the Americans on the back foot from the start.
7-4 ; 7-5 for the Continentals...
We've missed the rule that states the unit MUST be on the borderline to exit. So it was very easy for the Continentals to win. We will try thy game once again to notice the differences.
Seven games played in succession with the resulting score line of 6-1 in favour of the Americans.
Twice the British went for all-out assaults up the road and on the right with one being a total success and the second making it to the end of the road blocking the American escape but then losing 5 British and Hessian units broken plus a general to make it that far! Unexpected, with me as the British thinking I had it won.
The other five games ended mostly around the 7-3/4/5 mark with the Americans initially losing front line units but hanging on to do enough damage and escape off the board. The American dragoons and light infantry bolted for the escape route and we allowed them to do a two hex escape off the road as long as they started on the baseline. being also favoured with At-The-Quick-Step and Steal-A-March cards in most games was just outrageous luck!
