Freeman's Farm: An AWI Battle Cry Variant

Here was an adaptation of the C&C scenario on the web-page which is designed for that system but I decided to use the simpler Battle Cry game mechanics with period modifications, the Battle Cry board and cards and my Airfix figures based for these type of games - originally for Hold the Line.

Initial setup with the Americans in superior numbers but lacking artillery.


Here was the outcome - a decisive American victory where a British pincer move was thwarted by a penetrating central thrust. The Americans had some good cards and with more units to hand were able to concentrate force where it mattered. An enjoyable adaptation with the rules working well.
