The Battle of Garry's Tavern

Been a while since I played anything and even longer since I have posted. On thanksgiving day some of the lads met up at Garry's for a 7 Years War battle using his figures and terrain. Gareth and I commanded the British/Prussian devisions while Bill, Dave, and our host Garry commanded the French/Austrian devisions.

The battle was set up so that a large but poor quality French force (right side) met the smaller and more skilled British force (left side) along a road. A small tavern sat along the center of the road.

Black Watch in the woods holding back numbers 3 times their size.

Infantry square off and exchange volley fire.

The French realize that they will loose if they stand and take the British volley fire so charge in to overwhelm them with their numbers.
