First Session

All the American forces including Laffites Barataria Pirates will be on the field and ready for battle. The Louisiana Militias area of responsibility will be from the middle road to the upper road with it's H.Q. occupying X-Rayng X-Ray

Mississippi Militias area of responsibility will be from the Middle road down to the creek (Mississippi River), with it's H.Q. occupying Charlie. Lafittes Barataria's Pirates will act like a fire brigade going where they are needed to plug up any gaps that may appear from repeated British attacks. The Americans have the luxury of using Canons for defense, but use them wisely. Due to limited supply of canon shot, the canons may only be fired 5 times per sessions.

2nd Session

Continue to hold the line on the Rodriguez canal and repulse continued British attacks. If the Bridge area is threaten of being captured, you must blow the bridge, but doing so threatens an American victory condition. Remember, you have the use of your canons, but only 5 shots per session.




First Session

For the first 10 minutes, the British will saturate the Rodriguez canal with rocket fire to create as much confusion and take out as many defenders as possible. The complete 93rd Regiment will form and attack at a designated section of the American defense, chosen by the British command. The 93rd will continue this

attack for 20 minutes and probe for general weakness in the American line and command structure. At the end of the 20 minutes the horn will sound a general retreat and all surviving 93rd regiment troops will return to their H.Q. (Bravo) For the subsequent battles the 93rd Regiments area of responsibility will be from the middle road down to the creek (Mississippi river)

The British will have 10 minutes to re group and place both full Regiments on the field and attack the American lines at will.




First Session

The British 44th Regiment will assemble at their H.Q. (Delta) and will attack in conjunction with the 93rd Regiment after they have reformed from their initial probing attacks early in the first session. The 44th Regiments area of responsibility will be from the middle road up to the upper road.

2nd Session

The British will continue to attack the American lines at will. If the main Bridge is destroyed the British will have to try to rebuild it, at that time the only way to cross the Rodriguez canal is to drop down, cross it, and go over the top. Before the British can rebuild the British they must have control of both sides of the Bridge for at least 30 minutes. If at the end of 30 minutes the British still control both sides, the Bridge will have been rebuilt and be able to use it.

If none of the victory conditions are met 45 minutes prior to the end of the 2nd session, the horn will sound a general retreat. Both Regiments will gather at a chosen H.Q. and have 15 minutes to assemble the Regiments for one finale mass attack at a chosen point in the American line by the British command. This finale attack will last for 30 minutes.
