Muskets & Grenadiers - Assault on Freshwater Cove

A preliminary layout of a scenario focusing on General James Wolfe's assault on Freshwater Cove during the Siege of Louisbourg in 1758. The basic rules for Muskets and Tomahawks will be used - no side plots. I've played Sharp Practice in the past, but M&T is more to my taste being the simpler of the two.

A view looking towards the west. Having found a small area to land along the rocky shoreline east of the beach, Rangers and Frasier Highlanders move toward the enemy undetected. In the distance Grenadiers of the 22nd, 40th and 44th Regiments led by General Wolfe himself prepare to make a contested beach landing.

Each boat will need to use one action to reach the beach, and troops will have a free movement up to 2" from their respective boats upon landing.

French forces in good cover prepared to receive the British landings - or so they think.

A detachment of French Marines secure the right flank.

This game will be on hold until after my youngest son's high school graduation this Saturday. An AAR will follow.
