Game and Scenario

Regular John Menichelli

Colonial Major Victory

This was my first fight, so I really don't remember too much of it. I'm pretty sure John tried to rush straight ahead, and the rifles of my militia made him pay dearly.

Regular John Menichelli

Charlotte_a (What-if) - C1776

Wow. You certainly don't want to play this one as the Colonials. I don't think they have a chance in h*ll of winning. All the British player has to do is move forward, shoot, melee, and eventually take every victory hex for an overwhelming major victory.

Regular John Menichelli

This was actually an abandonment. I lost contact with John and he never has rejoined the club.

Regular John Menichelli

Germantown_a - C1776

This one strikes me as similar to the Civil War's Shiloh. The British have some light troops out front. I managed to completely surround the first group and eliminate them all. After that it was just a matter of pushing forward to victory.

I still feel bad about this one. Princeton is similar to Charlotte above except it is now the British player who has no shot to win. I just had to make sure I kept sufficient force back at the southwest objective hex to prevent Ernie from taking it late, and then I moved on Princeton itself with overwhelming force.

First Saratoga - C1776

Stefan handed me my hat again. I picked the option to move out on the left with Morgan's men. That was a bad idea. Stefan attacked along the river road and caved my right in. By the time Morgan's men arrived it was all over.

Lundy's Lane_a - W1812

Colonial Major Victory

This was another abandonment, but I felt like I was definitely winning this one. I had surrounded and destroyed most of his militia at the eastern end of the map, which is the bottom of the map in this scenario.

Bunker Hill_a - C1776

British Major Victory

Rich is a really good player. We played three Bunker Hill scenarios, so they all are mixed up in my mind, but from what I recall most of my boys were streaming to the rear by the end of this one.

SP00921/CG77 - 1st Battle

Hubbardton* - New York 1777 Campaign - C1776

British Minor Victory

Hubbardton is a tough one for the Colonial player. I just tried to slowly retreat and keep most of my army intact since this was the start of a campaign.

SP00917/CG76 - 1st Battle

Hubbardton* - New York 1777 Campaign - C1776

British Minor Victory

See directly above.

Bunker Hill_b - C1776

This variant of Bunker Hill favors the Patriots. I needed all the help I could get, because as I said before, Rich is a very good player.

Marco was pretty new to the club at this point I think. He also tried the straight ahead approach, and my militiamen tore his lobsterbacks to pieces.

Colonial Major Victory

Nik was also new to the club, and I had my Chippawa plan in action again. It again worked beautifully. I also want to take the time to add that Nik is one of the nicest guys I've talked to in any club so far.

Bunker Hill_c - C1776

British Major Victory

Uh oh. A scenario that doesn't favor the Colonials and Rich White as the opponent. Again my boys were streaming precipitously to the rear!

SP00939/CG76 - 2nd Battle

Bennington* - New York 1777 Campaign - C1776

Colonial Major Victory

Bennington is the opposite of Hubbarton. As long as the Colonial player keeps his boys together and doesn't make any stupid mistakes, he should be the victor every time. This was a campaign game, so I tried to pound Glyn's boys mercilessly while preserving my own.

SP00970/CG77 - 2nd Battle

Bennington* - New York 1777 Campaign - C1776

Colonial Major Victory

Germantown_a - C1776

Colonial Major Victory

Peter was pretty new to the club, and this battle favors an experienced Colonial. I didn't totally surround his light infantry scout force, but they suffered pretty badly. After that my reserves carried the day.

SP00960/CG76 - 3rd Battle

1st Saratoga* - New York 1777 Campaign - C1776

This was a wild and woolly affair that came close to being a minor victory for Glyn. My cavalry caused Glyn some problems, but he did trap some of them near the end.

SP00971/CG77 - 3rd Battle

1st Saratoga* - New York 1777 Campaign - C1776

British Minor Victory

I sent my cavalry into Scott's rear too, but I had really bad luck and kept running into his troops. As a result, I had no cavalry by the end of the fight and Scott had a minor victory.

British Major Victory

My NWC Army commander laid into me again. He took the flanking route and avoided rushing my center. This worked beautifully and he had me taken out, although it was pretty close until the end.

I thought I had Sam beat until the last turns. He also used flanking maneuvers and managed to ZOC kill about 200(!) of my men on turn 9. After that happened I saw it was futile to continue and offered my sword.

Colonial Major Victory

Larry is a good player and my CCC Training Center commander. I think he chose a more head-on approach, but this was closer than most of the Cowpens "head-on" games that I have played.

Colonial Major Victory

Peter was still new, having just played me at Germantown. My militia had a field day again in this one, angry after the poundings they had received from Mssrs. Reuter and Orlando.

Training Duties Feb.

This was a tough fight. I withdrew towards my reinforcements, but Kenny used that time to hole up in a forest. My brave lads hammered at his position, but it was all for naught. This one was very well fought by Kenny.

SP01079/CG77 - 4th Battle

Oriskany* - New York 1777 Campaign - C1776

Colonial Major Victory

This was the strangest end to a game I've ever seen, amd I'm sure Scott's other opponents felt the same way. Apparently Scott Reed of the British Army was also Mingo "High Head" Rodes of the Colonial Army. He released this info when he quit, and I got a forfeit win!

New York 1777 Campaign - C1776

Colonial Major Victory

Training Duties June

SP01141/CG76 - 4th Battle

Oriskany* - New York 1777 Campaign - C1776

I tried to slow Glyn down by making claims of "Indian ambushes" in this heavily wooded scenario. I think it worked too well because I had a militia unit at the first objective hex half way across this HUGE east to west map and Glyn still wasn't there at turn 20. I then offered him a draw and he accepted. I doubt we would have had muuch combat in this one due to Glyn's cautious advance and my deployment, which I'll keep secret for now!

New York 1777 Campaign - C1776

Colonial Major Victory

Well, I only managed to win one scenario, but I also got two draws, and that was apparently enough to take the win. Glyn is a very good and good-natured opponent and I had a lot of fun playing this campaign. We have since moved on to an NRC campaign in the NWC.

Training Duties July

Training Duties August

British Major Victory

Watch out. Allen's a very good new player. He looks like he'll eventually end up in the top 20 list, with the speed determined only by how many games he decides to play at a time. He handed me my first loss at Chippawa, and it was a doozy!

Training Duties September

SP01277/CG123 - 1st Battle

I chose to retreat from the Fort at Detroit and managed to exttricate most of my Army, although I must admit it wasn't the most orderly retreat I've ever undertaken!

Burlington Heights* - W1812

British Major Victory

Jeffrey had troops outside of the fort positioned nicely on my flanks and shot me up pretty badly.
