Lundy's Lane Redux Session Five - 1st October 2015

This Fifth Session includes the ten minute turns from 0720 to 0830. The following photos represent the end state at 0830.

Another upset occurred on the British right flank; the 19th LDs were again subject to a push back. The remaining three battalions and howitzer of Scott's Brigade have withdrawn intact in the face of a steady advance by LCol Scott's 1st British brigade.

 The 103rd Foot advances north to south on the 11th and 22nd U.S. regiments.

 The light company of  8th Foot in skirmish order are harassing the 9th Regiment in the woods on the extreme right flank of the British line.

 The British 24pdr, the howitzer and the American 18pdr have steadily lost gunners to point that they have variously failed their morale checks and routed from the filed. With no artillery on Lundy's Lane heights, MGen Brown orders Ripley to advance his Second brigade.

 The First Regiment is taking the Portage road towards Lundy's Lane heights.

 Porter's brigade of Volunteers has turned the British/Canadian flank having routed the IMUC and 1st Canadian Militia battalion.

 The Second Brigade has failed its morale check and must retire on its next compulsory move.

 Oh No! That dreaded infernal rocket machine is slowly making its way up the reverse side of the Lundy's Lane heights.

LGen Drummond still seems quite confident observing the battle to the rear of the 1st Foot The Royal Scots on top of Lundy's Lane heights.

The steady withdrawal of First brigade in the face of a very strong British 1st brigade advance coupled with the cavalry repulse has staved off what was a possible disaster on the American left flank.

On the American right flank Porter's Brigade has forced the British 1st Brigade to retire and exposing the left flank flank of the British line. Can Porter's Volunteers capitalize on this situation? We shall see next time.
