Lundy's Lane Session Two - Tuesday 12 May, 2015

Lundy's lane Session Two - 2010 to 2150

During this session at 2140 the evening twilight reduced the visibility to 24".

The Americans have two lucky die rolls that give them Ripley's Second Brigade at 2030 and Porter's Third Brigade 2120. After three failed die rolls, the British Third Brigade arrived on the Burlington Road at 2130. So the Americans enjoyed a three turn advantage of having the most troops on the battlefield.

 Scott's Brigade has steadily advanced and pushed back Morrison's brigade but with heavy casualties.

Scott's 9th and 22nd regiments have lost their light coys and more to initial British skirmish action and then a devastating volley from the from the 1st Royal Scots (a double six roll by the British did not help the Americans either).

 Ripley's Second Brigade has come out of the woods to support the First brigade's left flank. The 21st regiment has been slightly unnerved by rockets flying over their heads. However the last volley crashed into the light coy and caused casualties and forced the battalion to Falter.

 All of the American artillery is steadily climbing the gentle slopes of LL hill on the Queenston Road to support Ripley's Brigade.

 Porter's brigade arrivves at 2120.

 Threatened by a charge form the 19th LDs the American cavalry retreat back into the woods. They are apparently supported by some unknown U.S. units.

 At long last, the British 1st Brigade arrived on the Burlington road and has received orders from LGen Drummond. They are appearing to deploy so as to protect the British/Canadian right flank

 LCol Scott and his aide survey the battlefield as his First brigade deploys. of LL Road.

 LGen Drummond tries to manage the congestion at the center of the battlefield on top of LL hill.

A look at the U.S. right flank from the British perspective. The 1st Foot in the center with the 89th on its right. They have their light coys deployed. Scott's First Brigade is top left and center while Ripley;s Second Brigade is off to the right.

The Third Session will commence at 2200. This means that there is only five turns of twilight left. At 2250 it is dark and the visibility is reduced to 12 inches. Like the real battle this engagement is likely to be bloody and costly.
