Spike posted these great Pics for us. Hope shes feeling better.
A column of British forces cross at a ford on the way to reinforce the Garrison at Rivers Edge, French Allied Indians Hid in the woods Near the French gun boat on the River and lurk behind the swamp waiting for the Limeys to show themselves. Each white card marked a random entry point for French Forces. British troops entered on the road and were already deployed at the block house up river.
British troops deploy left and right of the column as French troops approach from both sides - More Indians are behind the swamp
Huron Indians trade musket fire with British light infantry across the swamp
Another group of French Indians emerged from the woods delaying the British Grenadiers deployed at the end of the British column. Repeated Charges by the Natives saw them counting coup and collecting many scalps as they decimated the ranks of the British Grenadiers in fierce fighting at the banks of the River.

French Infantry(Swiss) have moved across the bridge connecting the Block house to the relief force cutting the Garrison off from badly needed reinfocrements as the Naval Gun runs out of ammunition. Also coming down of the Hill to the right is another unit of French troops which sealed the fate of the Garrison
they move up to raid the Garrison tents for booty and force the remaining British
pickets to retreat to a defensive postion under the blockhouse
(The Relief column grounds to halt assailed from the rear by rampaging Indians and forced to deploy the highlander company to the front. While One Indian Unit was broken and the Couer de Bois with rifles did little to contribute to the French victory. The French Commander was gracious in vctory as he allowed The British Commander to march out with his remaining forces. Minus the supply train, 4 guns and the supplies already in the Blockhouse. Rumor has it the British Commander privately promised to return in the Fall to defend his honor and avenge this defeat.) it was an excellent game of Sword in Forest well played by both sides
