Battle of Hubbardton American Revolution 20mm Wargame Part 1

Описание: Rally to the colors and shoulder your flintlock, it's time to step back through the centuries a little for a look at the American Revolution in 20mm. We've got a 20mm miniature game depicting the Battle of Hubbardton, fought in what would become Vermont on July 7, 1777.

The Crown has amassed an army in Canada under General "Gentlemen Johnny" Burgoyne and is invading upstate New York. Their goal is to split off New England from the rest of the colonies by way of Lake Champlain and the Hudson River. Their first obstacle is Fort Ticonderoga, which they're actually able to take with barely a shot fired.

As the American forces pull out of Ticonderoga, however, Burgoyne orders a pursuit. His Advance Corps under Brigadier General Simon Fraser catches up with the American rear guard near Hubbardton, in present day Vermont. This kicks off a sharp, vicious action with British line infantry, grenadiers, light infantry, and Jaegers of Crown German regiments (commonly called "Hessians") - pitted against rear guard elements of the 11th Massachusetts, 2nd New Hampshire, and patriots of the "Green Mountain Boys" militia.
