Campaign Update 1755

Compagnies Franches de la Marines
 led by Capt. LeBouty (pictured center w Pistol) lie in Ambush. (Sept 1755)

As the campaign year 1755 comes to a close for our campaign using Muskets and Tomahawks I wanted to give a quick overview of the situation followed by the individual results.

On all fronts the French have turned back the three British Attacks.  In the West (Round 1 Expedition vs Ambush) the French defeated the British 30 victory points to 24.  In other words Braddocks defeat was still a defeat but not as devastating as it had been.  In the Lakes region (Round 2 Pursuit vs Rear Guard) the French 26 VP dominated the British (13 VP).  Finally the Acadia incursion (Round 3 Engagement vs Hasty Defense)  by sea has been repulsed with French securing 39 victory points and the British gaining 21 VP.  Overall results are shown below.



Results as of 4 October 1755

 

The French gain the 10 extra victory points for the 1755 Battle for the Wilderness bringing the totals to:

French - 214
British - 135


Next up are the rules and scenarios for 1756.  Individual results below.  We had several players who had a hard time getting in all three games this time.  Remember your natural talent is based on the type of officer you have leading your force.  Promotion points can be used for actual promotion and/or one promotion point can be spent to provide you officer an additional talent rolled randomly.
