AWI - Playing British Grenadier

Ross, Phil and I decided to give the AWI another go to try and get a better handle on the British Grenadier Rules.

The scenario was for a small British column to make its way across the table to link up with a Brigade of Hessians who were waiting for them.
The Patriots' objective was to stop them.
A fictional scenario using various troops from different theatres but kinda influenced by the battle of Princeton.
The British started by marching from one table edge in column as the Patriots entered the table to their right.

Hessian Grenadiers vs Militia line

The 21st Foot facing the 4th Maryland- and some rifle skirmishers- Both are about to get swept away in a bayonet charge.

The 21st (blue flag) and the 9th (yellow) launch charges and drive away the Americans facing them, They are now behind the Militia...and on the flank of the 3rd New York.

The final move- The 21st and 9th foot advance and literally sweep all before them. The 3rd New York has its flank exposed in the middle.  The state troops behind them and in the bottom right corner are in all sorts of trouble. Two other continental regiments have fled, only one , the 1st Maryland- in front of the building is holding-.....a decisive British victory.
