Trenton, 1776

The Rebel attacked opened on two fronts, and the Hessians held the town for the three moves before beginning their fighting retreat...

The town fell to General Washington, and the Hessians managed to extract their baggage from the field-  so very much honours even for both sides.  

A very pleasant after dinner 'Revolutionary' Little War - with a very good 20 year old Madeira to round off the evening in style.

And three cheers for the King and Elector!!!

Trenton, 1776

The post Christmas indoor game pitted Junior as the brave Hessians (having their Christmas winter quarters ruined) against the rebellious subjects of King George - commanded by Junior's chum - and ardent supporter of the 'Rights of Man' - TS.

The Rebels approach....

The Rebel forces were given two free turns of fire and movement - to give that element of surprise.  The Hessians, billeted across the town were activated on a descending D6 roll.  So on Hessian Turn 1 - a 6 was needed to awake a Company, on Turn 2  - a 5/6 &c &c....

A Hessian Company forms and fires....

Captain Shandy returns

And he is delighted to be back - and in the New World of the restless Colonies....what, what...

And all is quiet on St Stephen's Day, Trenton , New Jersey 1776....
