Lundy's Lane Redux - Session Eight - 17 November, 2015

This is the situation at 1000.

In the distance upper left is  part of the 103rd Foot, which has fully recovered from its retreat and is ready to advance.  In the mid ground left the 11th and 12th Regiments are holding off the 8th Foot. The 9th Regiment (left bottom) is withdrawing down the forest road.
Mid right, the 104th Foot has suffered a FALTER, which means that it and its skirmishers could be an object of an American attack. Bottom center right, Scot is urging American skirmishers to attack.

 Meanwhile in the center of the battle ...incredibly, (shades of 'le garde recule') the 1st Foot Royal Scots have started to rout as a result of sustained musket fire from the 21st and 23rd Regiments. Will the Royal Scots be able to recover? A critical moment in the battle indeed.

 On the American right flank Porter's brigade has cut off the British line supply on the Portage Road and is endeavoring to slowly advance up Lundy's Lane. On the left, American engineers are well up the slope and are about to engage the 49th Light company in the house. In the center, the Pennsylvania Volunteers slowly but steadily advance up Lundy's Lane against a much depleted 89th Foot who are barely hanging on (below 50% = morale check each turn). On the right the NY Volunteers are in a do or die fire fight with the GLI while suffering from harassing fire from British pioneers in the house to their left.

The left flank of the Anglo-Canadian army with the GLI on the left and the 89th on the right. To the right bottom are General Drummond and his staff who are dumbfounded at the sight of the 1st Royal Scots about to rout.

 A rear view of the Royal Scots in the first stage of routing. To their right is the 104th Foot in a FALTER state.

A view of the 8th Foot (left) engage with the 21st and 23rd regiments.
The Anglo-Canadian center is in a critical state with the 1st Foot about to ROUT and the 104th in FALTER. This a great opportunity for Ripley's Second Brigade, however, they are in a weakened state. So will they risk a charge?
Will the 1st Foot recover from its ROUT?
Will the recovered 103rd be able to aid the 8th in time?
Will Porter's Brigade be able to gain the Lundy's Lane heights?
Both armies are in a fragile state and any unit could suddenly give way as did the Royal Scots.
