French Indian War Campaign - Game 7

During the week I was able to find time and return to play a game in my French Indian War campaign. In the last campaign game (a few weeks ago) British forces had been defeated and forced to retreat (shown with the black arrow). The French decided to quickly followed up this victory up with another attack the other British force north of the river (Red arrow).

The campaign map shows the retiring British and advancing French.

Both sides in this battle chose to draw upon their reserves and gain an additional two units. The battle began with British units lined up behind a river. The river had three crossings (one bridge and two fords). Along the river side a number of areas of marsh were placed and could not me traversed by any units.

French Indian allied units quickly advance on the right flank with the intent of harrying the few British units and artillery. 

On the opposite flank, British units move across the river.

In the centre French units quickly march towards the bridge.

The British attack on their right flank prepares to move forward.

Indian units begin to harass the British left flank.

All along the line British units opened fire. The French advance along the road quickly came to a halt after the lost of a unit.

The British attack make slow progress.

The Indians were starting to make a real nuisance of themselves and causing the British left flank to  come under pressure.

Support for the British flank diverted reserves. 

Meanwhile the British attack was placing pressure on the French, but was almost spent.

At this point in the game was well balanced and really enjoyable. As a result I forgot to take pictures of the next couple of turns, which saw the Indians defeat a couple of units and the British attack run out of steam. This allowed the French to regroup for a final attack, only to see the remaining British units retire.

French units are regrouping for a final attack, while British units make a timely retirement.

So the campaign now stands French 4 victories and British 3 victories.
