Mark Breed -> Campaign Log - Week IV, October 1776 (11/4/2010 9:22:28 PM)
American Event: Storm – Hold the steering-wheel! The shore is close. Goggle your eyes, you in the front! Lest we run aground! Don't lie down, you at the suction-pump if you don't want to have dinner with the fish! Move your ass, you, lazy gang! I will kick you along the Tropic of Cancer when this is all over at last! Man overboard? God rest his soul! It is only a few minutes left for him now, but we can suffer on. God, please, help us now!!! (Fleet actions delayed one week.) Colonel Lee’s dragoons are running out of supplies. Troopers are deserting. The 1st Light Infantry Regiment in Savannah has been upgraded and redesignated as the 2nd Continental Light Dragoons Regiment. The British invasion from Canada has turned back due to lack of supplies! [image]local://upfiles/10010/F63358A40F0244DC8F7BD9ED3DEBA102.jpg[/image]

American Event: Inflation – I've got my pay today; here is my debt with the interests. Now, I want to eat and drink; let's celebrate this sudden fortune! What? Yesterday, the meat cost half of this! And the wine? How can it cost three times more than last week? Of course, barkeep, it is sold to you at the same price... Tell the devil that this in Hell! If my money isn't good enough, what do you think of my iron? (Boston rise up against British rule.) Skirmish at Baltimore – General Howe marches a brigade with 605 Indians from Annapolis to Baltimore and pushes Colonel Gansevoort’s militia regiment of 305 men out of the city.

American Event: Good connections. A pen is a stronger weapon than a sword, more Captains have fallen in the halls of magnificent palaces and in the corridors of the parliament than on the blood-soaked battle-fields. Be assured, my general, your career is being followed with benevolence from the highest circles. Whatever is that you might need, just give us a word, and we will take care of it. (+10 Influence) American leaders issue decorations to the troops (+3 Zeal). Colonel Lee’s dragoons capture and pillage Tuscarora Indian village. Generals Washington and Mifflin continue to march toward Salisbury. Roanoke was too small to support the army. Colonel Gist remains in Roanoke with a militia brigade. (Note, last week British dragoons were observed leaving Halifax on the road to Roanoke. They most likely are commanded by Brigadier Fraser and consist of 297 men based on the last intelligence report on them.)

Continued. The British are making a major invasion of the South with three separate armies approaching or entering North Carolina along the coast road. The lead army is commanded by General Eitell, which was transported by sea from New York (info courtesy the British player). An unidentified army follows just south of New Bern. The third army is commanded by Colonel Turnbull, which last intel reports indicate it is comprised of 4,590 men and 28 cannon and is just north of New Bern.

American Event: Looting (Colonel Gist’s command loots Roanoke). A soldier's life is short. Death follows him wherever he goes, and sooner or later, it reaches him. Soldiers do not pile up money because it would only serve the benefit of the people robbing the corpses. Soldiers do not make friends because they may lose them in the next battle. Believe me, you, as a peace-loving commoner, have got a much better fate. So don't you cry for your pigs and wine, as we fight for you and die for you. Don't you try to hide your money because you'll see what happens if I get really angry. The Americans receive reports of a large Tory force advancing on Springfield from Providence. Colonel Hamilton is given orders to redirect his militia regiment to conduct a reconnaissance toward Hartford. Colonel Smith is ordered to abandon Springfield and march his militia towards Portsmouth. Skirmish near Newport - An American militia regiment (251 men), under the command of Colonel Clarke, is attacked by General Knyphausen's army of 2,403 men and 12 cannon. The Americans lose 93 men and retreat back to Newport. Skirmish near Wilmington - An American militia regiment (414 men), under the command of Colonel Brodhead, marches out to delay General Eitell's army of 3,250 men and 12 cannon. In two separate engagements the Americans lose 101 men while the British lose 3. British General Powell takes Springfield. The Royal Navy bombards Newport.

The revolution is crushed! I will be putting together a lessons learned file after my opponent and I complete the next game after switching sides. And, believe me there are lessons learned! [image]local://upfiles/10010/6830F7772F254B81A6AA37DA80C8A4AD.jpg[/image]

Thank you to all who have followed this AAR. I will begin posting the new game soon. I want to build up several turns so that my opponent does not have quite as much real-time intel available as I gave him in the last game. Regards, Mark
