French Indian War campaign - Game 2

With painting of the WW2 Burma units I have had little opportunity to get much gaming in. As painting is progressing well I thought it was time to setup the second game of my French Indian War campaign. In the first game the British had a minor victory causing the losing French force to retire one move. A major victory would cause the losing force to retire two moves and the victorious side with the opportunity to followup with one move.

As the result of losing a battle French forces retire one move

Over the next few alternating moves, British forces push forward and attempt to flank French forces on the river. The French counter this by moving forward a force from their river defences.

British forces are selected

French forces are selected. Two additional units would be added as the French chose to  throw in some reinforcements (they are allowed to do this twice during the campaign)

The tabletop was setup with the terrain placed based upon dice rolls. Looking at the campaign map I decided the forces would not arrive on opposite sides. Instead the French would arrive on the British left flank.

All being well I will be able to start the game later this week.
