The fourth session got underway after a long summer hiatus on Thursday 24th September, 2015.
After many set backs Scott's brigade is holding its ground on the Army's left flank but faces significant British opposition.
The 19th LDs versus the U.S, LDs came to a surprising result. The 19th were pushed back to their own start line. This provided some much needed breathing space for Scott's First Brigade.
Ripley's Second brigade holds the line just outside the British 24pdr's canister range. The U.S. 18 pdr battles' it out with the British 5.5 howitzer and 24pdr. Ripley is content to wait it out while the big guns attrit each other hopefully with American guns the last standing.
On the right of Second Brigade the 18 pdr left and the destroyed 12pdr on the road. It does not look good for the American guns.
It was a brave attempt of the 12 pdr crew to get within canister range of the British (12 o'clock to the 12pdr). To the right of 12pdr remains, is the American combat engineers getting into postion to support Porter's brigade.
The only successful American brigade is Porter's New York and Pennsylvania volunteers. The continually pushed back the British/Canadian left flank.
A view looking north down the left flank of the British/Canadian.
A view of the left center of the British/Canadian left center. Yes, they are holding onto the Lundy's Lane heights.
Will Scott be ba able to hold off the British on slot on the American left flank? Which side will win the crucial gun duel in the center? Can Porter's Volunteers continue their successful advance?
Stay tuned to Session Five.
