Red Man's Revenge

Red Man's Revenge

General Washington, to punish the natives for assisting the British , has sent troupes

in to the native territories to attempt and destroy their means and will to fight. Militia

men eager to exact a toll on the natives have joined in the venture. Many villages have

been burned, women, children, slaughtered, provisions stolen. A contingent of these

troupes, considering their job well and verily done, have made a camp by the river,

preparing for the journey back home.

Whilst these tactics have had the desired effect on some of the natives, others have

been spurred on in to a “blood rage”. Scouts have discovered the whereabouts of the

raiders camp and sent word to the warriors in the vicinity. They now converge on the

encampment to exact revenge. The chiefs have also sent word to the British of what is

transpiring and demand that if the British wish them to remain “helpful”, that assistance

is needed.

The British, in response, have sent a force down out of Canada. For the sake of

swiftness, the vanguard of this force is made up of Loyalist and regular light troupes

with a follow-on of regular British line and Hessian line. The need for speed being

paramount, all artillery has been left behind, save for a pair of ammusettes.

These moves by the British have not gone unnoticed and word has made its way

back to General Washington. The general, seeing a possible opportunity commits regular

troupes and sends them, guided by “friendly? natives” to join with the raiders.

 

 

                                     The Continentals start out from their camp.
                                 

                                                              Crossing the river

 

                                          The Lights and Militia begin to march through the
                                          valley in order to meet the Continental regulars.

                                          While the Militia advances, British reenforcements
                                           begin to arrive from behind.

 

                                          Everyone is moving cautiously because they hear
                                          the war cries in the woods.

                                         

                                          The Lights lead the way through the valley.

                                           Suddenly Indians line the valley!

                                          Slowly the Continentals advance to aid the Militia.

                                     All the while British Lights advance towards the rebel camp.

                                          After a devastating volley, the Indians pour into
                                          the valley to massacre the Continentals.

                                                           Mad Dog directs his braves.

                                          The militia falls back to a supporting position.

                                          The rifles fall back into the camp.

                                          Now victorious war cries can be heard echoing
                                          through the valley.

                                          British infantry and Hessian grenadiers follow up
                                          in support of the Lights.

                                            The Lights come into view of the camp.

 

                                           The rifles take cover in the woods at the edge of
                                            the camp.
                                     

                                    
                                    

Realizing that the British are behind them,

the commander of the militia makes the fateful

decision of getting his troops through the valley

to safety.

 

 

                                          The Continental relief force lumbers towards the
                                           valley.

                                          The British lights and rifles skirmish in the woods.

                                          The British and Hessians rumble towards the battle.

                                          Once again the Indians have lined the valley 
                                           in hopes of destroying the militia.

                                    Indians hide in the forest awaiting the Continental regulars.

                                          Onward come the Continental regulars.

                                          The Indians fire on the militia in the valley.

                                          The militia rush to make it out of the valley..

                                          More Indians are coming from behind.

 

 

                                          While the Hessians loot the camp and the Light
                                           skirmish in the distance, the British regulars
                                           advance.

 

The Continentals arrive at the mouth of the valley.

 

 

 

                                          The Indians ready themselves for the next wave of
                                           Continentals.

                                          The militia runs the gauntlet in the valley.

 

                                          The Continentals brace themselves for the threat of
                                           battle.

                                          The Indians emerge from the edge of the woods.

                                         What is left of the militia runs for the safety of the
                                          Continental line.

                                          As the battle rages on another war party heads back
                                           towards the militia camp.

                                         While the Hessians loot the camp, the Indians have
                                          joined the British lights in fighting the American
                                         rifles in the woods at the edge of the camp.

                                         As the Continentals ready for battle, they are made
                                         aware of the tragedy that has occured.

                                         The General in charge of the relief force decides it
                                         is best if he withdrawls, his mission a failure.

                                         As the Continentals retire before them, the Indians
                                         advance from the woods to taunt their foe.

                                         Meanwhile back in the camp the rifles are overcome
                                         by superior numbers and are wiped out.

                                          As the British advance through the camp and into
                                          the valley, the rebels fallback to their fort.

                                         The red mans revenge is far from complete, and the
                                      next game should prove to be most interesting as a
                                      large force of British, Hessians, and Indians move on
                                      lay siege to the Americans at fort Courage.
