After the success of Guildford Courthouse (see previous blog) I decided to give Freeman’s farm a go. This saw the Americans under Benedict Arnold on the attack in an attempt to beat ‘Gentleman’ Johnny Burgoyne. The British had one Brigade in the middle of the table ( Hamilton’s- Richard), one brigade in the earth works on the left flank ( Fraser’s- Ralph ) and one brigade ( Reidesel’s Hessians- Richard II ) to arrive with a randomised dice throw.
The
Americans also had three brigades and two ( Morgans -Phil and Poor's -Chris ) were on the
table. The third ( Learned’s- Liam ) would arrive very quickly to help destroy
Hamilton’s brigade and secure the victory. Well, that was the plan….
