American forces takes the Seminole village.

American forces liberate Halifax from British occupation.

American General Sullivan moves his command north.

American forces led by Brigadier Morgan pass through Morristown tearing down the British flag and chasing the Tory administrators out of the city. Then move to within support distance of General Sullivan’s command.

British General Grey re-enters Morristown.

The British tire of the Americans “liberating” cities that they leave ungarrisoned in New Jersey and move all forces from the field back into the cities. American Generals Morgan and Sullivan have been a thorn in their side (at least that is what we are reporting to our fellow Americans).

The Americans purchase weapons from France.

Skirmish at Baltimore – British General Howe leads his combined British and Indian troops against Baltimore defended by Brigadier Poor’s militia brigade. British forces consist of 730 Tories and 938 Indians. American forces consist of 742 militiamen who had just commenced training exercises. The British caught the Americans with their pants down and inflicted 92 casualties while sustaining only 30 of their own (16 Tories and 14 Indians). It looks like the training mission taught the American forces an unintended lesson.

Americans purchase French cannon.
American forces pillage the Mohawk Indian village (again).

American forces liberate Alexandria.

British General Cornwallis leads his troops into Baltimore.

Battle of Boston (x2) – British (Hessian) General Von Riedesel, commanding 5,000 men and 30 cannon, launches an assault on the American forces in Boston. The Americans, commanded by General Putnam, consist of 2,500 men and 24 cannon. General Putnam issued orders to hold at all costs. However, the American troops seeing that they are outnumbered 2-to-1 are unsettled (-10 to their morale); whereas the professional Hessian troops have a very high morale and make short work of the defenses inflicting 486 casualties and destroying 2 cannon while only losing 72 men. The Hessians do not hesitate to pursue and again catch the Americans outside of Boston. This time the Americans are able to inflict some damage (161 men) on the pursuers, but the Hessians still show their superiority and inflict 316 additional casualties and destroy 5 more cannon.



Engagement at Fort Ticonderoga – Hessian Colonel Von Voit with 250 dragoons, 3,400 men, and 8 cannon arrive at Fort Ticonderoga to find Colonel Gansevoort with 12 cannon outside the fort (note: apparently additional forces in a fort hex are not treated as in the fort; only those specifically designated as a part of the garrison count). The Hessian attack and destroy three of the cannon; however, Colonel Gansevoort is able to conduct a withdraw and inflict 71 losses and 1 cannon destroyed on the Hessian force.

Sure wish the game had someone to support it.

Meanness could not resist temptation, and now, money, of which there is never enough, is further diminished! What is the army going to eat tomorrow? How are we going to give them their pay? Even if we capture the knave, he will have gotten the money by that time, and it will be only a crumb of comfort if I can see him hanging on the gallows...

The American reorganizes increasing their readiness (+5).

General Putnam moves his command through Plymouth before continuing his retreat toward Providence.

Status: offline 		American Event: Explosion (Fort Western). Cannons, rifles, all work by gunpowder, so most lives are taken by this powder. If it has once catches fire, it cannot be put out... that is why we should handle it with the utmost caution, especially if it is in large quantities. The lighting of fire and smoking pipes are prohibited, and it should be also taken care of that lest an iron-shod boot glance and cause a spark, we would all have dinner with Saint Peter.

The British forces close in on Albany.

Status: offline 		American Event: Work in the fields (3 militia regiments depart) – War, enemy, victory, defeat... These words haven't been created for the poor. Ploughing, sowing, cropping - this is our gospel. Paying taxes and serving are always necessary, no matter who wins, but if this year, we don't cultivate our lands, next year the winner will starve as well. Women and children cannot bear the work... We must go! When we are finished, we will return - we promise that.

British forces closing in on Albany turn around and withdraw toward whence they came!

Colonel Lee’s dragoons liberate Morristown.

Skirmish at Morristown – General Phillips, with 2,035 men and 16 cannon, pushes Colonel Lee’s dragoons out of Morristown.

Status: offline 		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 low on supplies.

No significant events to report.
