This is the situation at the end of turn of the ten minute turn at 0940.
Th left flank of the American line held by Scott's First brigade. The U.S. 9th, 11th and 22nd are engaged with the 103rd Foot. Note the 103rd has refused its right flank to deal with the 9th and 11th. In the background left is the Second Militia Battalion acting as a reserve.
The center of the battle with Ripley's Second brigade. The U.S. 23rd Rgt is engaged with 104th Foot and has caused it to falter. Hmmm...an opportunity to charge. Note the 8th Foot in the background left...in reserve. In the center the 21st Rgt is heavily engaged with the Royal Scots. On the far right the 1st Rgt is engaged with skirmishers from the 89th Foot. Also, note the absence of British cavalry as the 19th LD routed and ultimately dispersed in the previous turns. A final note, on the far left the American cavalry is in retreat.
The right flank of the American army ably represented by Porter's Brigade assisted by American combat engineers and the 1st Rgt. Note the 89th has withdrawn to avoid being attacked in the flank by the 1st Rgt. The 5th Penn Volunteers continue to engage with the 89th.
The NY Volunteers have moved to the right to fully engage the GLI but are receiving harassing fire from the British Pioneer company in the building.
The reverse view.
The 89th has withdrawn to a better position.
The center of the British line with 1st on the left and the 104th Foot (FALTERED) on the right. To the right a skirmish fire fight is in progress.
A look south with the 8th Foot in reserve perhaps waiting for the American Second brigade to weaken....and then pounce!
The right flank of the Anglo-Canadian line. The 103rd reusing it right to deal with with two American regiments. The 2nd Militia brigade in reserve.
The American First brigade is in a fragile state but has managed to fend off the advancing British. Can it still hold the line?
Also, the American Second brigade appears to be holding off the mighty Royal Scots. It is somewhat relieved by the demise of the 19th LD.
Porter's brigade with help of the engineers and the 1st Rgt is the only American brigade to advance. Can it continue its onward push?
