I had cut the article describing this battle from an old Wargames Illustrated a long time ago and had it filed away in my 'scenarios' folder - yes..PAPER....not an electronic copy.
I always thought it would make an interesting, if fairly straight forward, table encounter. Ross had his SYW French. We didn't have Wolfe's Redcoats ( but I had the Osprey book!!) but I had more than enough AWI British troops that could double up. Now I can hear the screams about accuracy and purity of representation - total poo of course. The figures are nice- they look about right so I used them!

The original article was for WRG Horse and Musket rules which is one of my most played and favourite rulesets of all time. We have moved on from it ( sadly I guess) and translated it across to the rules we currently use, Honours of War.
