Lundy's Lane Redux - 

Session Nine - 

Tuesday 8 December, 2015

Well for awhile it looked like the American army was going to prevail. Units of Porter's Brigade had gained the Lundy's Lane heights and the First and Second brigades were holding their own having driven off the Royal Scots! But the tactical success was fleeting.

 The British 1st brigade advance on the American with 2nd Militia Bde (left Bottom) , the 103rd to the north on the road and 8th even further north engaged against American skirmishers. Facing off the British onslaught is the 22nd Regt of First Brigade, which has been reduced to 50% strength. 

In support of the 22nd is the 9th and 11th Regts with the 11th in RETREAT and supported by the only artillery left on the battlefield. In the mid upper center of the photo are the 21st (at > 50% casualties) and 23rd Regts who have recently driven off the Royal Scots. Now they are being harassed by skirmishers from the 8th Foot. Behind these skirmishers is the 104th Foot (at > 50% casualties).

 The American Engineers (tasked to support Porter's brigade) are the only American unit on LL Heights. They are battling the 49th Light Company for possession of the meeting house. Further down LL road to the west is the 89th Foot who are recovering from a rout.(at > 50% casualties).

The Pennsylvania Volunteers, the only functional unit left in Porter's Brigade, are in RETREAT after having recently gained LL heights and are also ( > 50% casualties). The British Pioneer Company still hold the house while the GLI are standing firm having forced the NY Volunteers to ROUT and eventually disperse.
A serious set back for Brown's Army all around with many units at over 50% casualties.  However, several British unit are also at over 50% casualties. The American Army is in acutely fragile state.
Can it hold on?
