July Week One 1775 Around Boston Two large battles are fought in the Boston area this turn. The first between British General Grey with... 5,139 men 62 cannon against Washington with... 6,520 men 37 guns The battle was fought in the town of Providence and very close right up to the end but the British won it.[:(] The Casulties British 732 men 12 cannon Americans 1,032 men 5 cannon So Washington retreats south. Meanwhile British calvary ride around and capture Plymouth & Newport. The second battle happened north of Boston between British General Murray with... 2,880 men 28 cannon with about 8,000+ militia it seemed.[X(] against Sullivan with... 4,705 men 6 cannon This battle was no contest and Sullivan was easily beaten. He was heavily outnumbered and his men seemed in really bad need of training. Some of his troops could only shoot one time a turn, I`ll have to look through the rule book on that. Casulties.... British 152 men 6 cannon American 265 men 6 cannon So now I`m thinking I retreat. I don´t think there is a choice. I`m not strong enough to fight the British now. I did look at the rulebook after running Morgan off the board awhile back that costed me 300 points and a battle lost. Seems I can set the Armies to retreat. Hopefully that will set the American Armies to retreat and not fight a battle if attacked. Maybe I can avoid anymore 300 point battles lost when I don´t really want to fight. So the American Armies are going to be set to retreat. [image]local://upfiles/19240/890567CC9CEA42019433133C1A633915.jpg[/image]
