Tom D's account
Thanks to Ian for umping the Sharp Practise game. It was a nice little intro to the rules.
The cards seemed very unkind to us Rebels or it certainly felt like it. However, getting out the woods to take the advantage of our surprise took longer than we had expected. Even so the battle seemed well balanced, with fisticuffs taking a couple of squads off the table. Daniel managed to get amongst my Skirmishers who had strayed too far along the tree line in the hope of a good shot. This forced me in to defending the tree line rather than getting amongst it.
As the battle moved on, Rebel militia and British regulars exchanged a few volleys of fire on the road leading up to the camp. Neither forced each other out of place. However, the well ordered ranks of British troops looked a rather formidable force compared to the rag tab bunch hiding in the trees. I don't imagine that they would've held out too much longer as the British managed to form their lines.
I think a British win sounds about right. But thanks again to Ian, Andrew J, Andy R, and Daniel.
