Last night we tried a couple of games to get the scenario right for our Bushy Run game we will have at the museum for our games day this upcoming Saturday.
The second game was the more interesting of the two.
The Native Americans peer through the dark woods for a sight of the British column they know is coming.
The British moving their column through the clearing at the top of Edgehill, they look forward to making camp in about a mile.
At the first signs of trouble the column leaves the road to move to the assistance of the rangers in the vanguard.
The 42nd was tasked with removing the thread to the front of the column.
Looking down from above at the road as it threads around the hill towards Pittsburgh reveals that the Native Americans have done a good job of stopping the British column.
The Native Americans fall back from the Highlanders but launch an attack on the supply train itself. Their depredations are interrupted by a sudden rush by the 60th.
The Mingo warriors try to hold the onrushing British soldiers but they do so in vain. Mass tells and the warriors are forced to fall back despite a heroic effort.
The supply column is saved as the Native Americans retreat from the battlefield leaving the road to Pittsburgh littered with bodies but open.
Obviously everything is not quite finished yet but I wanted to get some pictures up so that people can see the diorama. We will have more pictures on Saturday.
begins to think about terrain for Team Yankee.
