Huzzah! 2019 Carnage at the Blockhouse.

 Saturday morning I was at Rich Wallace's Table for Carnage at the Blockhouse.  I play tested this on the American side (very different table) this time I'm on the side of King George.
 Our objective is to hold the Block house Cornwallis is isolated in the house you can see at the top f the page.
 The Yankee Doodles under Sal rush forward at the block house.
 turn two Hessian troops arrive
 The fortress is being pressed hard with the militia driving back the Light Infantry pickets
 The von Kohler Grenadiers charge across the bridge in column... and take fire form the guns that quickly spins around.
 Continental troops are swarming around Cornwallis' headquarters.  
 My men take the guns and other German units begin to shake out into line.
 Despite some tense moments the garrison of the HQ have held
 My Hessian press forward as the garrison launches a counter attack.
 The Continental Dragoons drive back the 16th Lt. Dragoons
 The militia is pressed form both sides...

 and units begin to surrender
 or run as the Hessian's take one more American battery
 One more push by the Continentals fails to break through and American army moral breaks.
The Block house cleansed of rebels (except for prisoners)
