Among the tribes we have heard that our great white French Father enjoys the idolatry and blind following of large flocks of stinky, noisy, ill tempered, and foul, fowl.

Why what did you think I meant Lt.Roubaud. [;)]

I think you meant that you need to send a messenger over to my regimental headquarters to discuss terms of battle, you ignorant oaf.

Well done Sir Phil I have just played Yorktown and lost my army having inflicted about 3100 losses on the enemy for about the same on my side I reckoned That was about as good as I could do. Please let us know how you did it sir. Or maybe lend out that hound.

Thank you Captain Boggon, it wasn't easy and luck played a part. I didn't waste much time slowing the enemy advance on the city, but rather ran for cover as soon as I could. Those elevated rampart hexes mean extra firepower coming out, and less going in, which is always a good thing. I maintained a lot of crossfiring angles with my artillery from the rampart areas the jutted out, also kept all the Hessians under tight control by the Army leader, did a lot of shifting behind the walls, and kept those huge French units off balance by heavy fire while they trudged through the swamps. My opponent made several breaches but I was I able push him back out and plug the gaps with reserves...if you can call highly fatigued and shot up units reserves. [xx(] Note too that this was Barry Maunsell's custom Yorktown scenario which is slightly more forgiving for the Brits than the in-game scenario. It was a very hard fought battle and a continual balancing act as I constantly rushed troops to weakened or threatened sectors.

Do I smell BBQ? [:p][8D]
