The battle of Medjerda is almost forgotten,but was fought against highly disciplined German troops and blasted a route straight to Tunis it was a perfect infiltration battle and should be remembered as the best fought British battle of the war.

RE: Call to Arms AAR Sapper32 v Raindem
Thanks and I'm getting a kick out of following this scenario. I suppose you guys are essentially play-testing this, no? I know I've played some of Curt's many scenarios. I imagine when he's ready he will post this one to RD. At least I hope so -otherwise he could get inundated with requests for this. This looks really great!
RE: Call to Arms AAR Sapper32 v Raindem
Yes were playtesting this after a few false starts we have played twice and this is our third playtest so things are progresing i realy enjoy playing this scenario there is no continuous frontline units are spread across the map im rampaging across the colonies at the moment but im starting to watch my back now as the French fleet and a French expeditionary force could be making an appearence soon,Glad your enjoying more posts to come soon.

The rebelion rolls on into 1778 my British hold the Florida's,Georgia,South and north Carolina,Virginia and Maryland aswell as NewYork,Boston and Canada my VPs are upto 21 still 9 short of stopping the EEV.The Americans under the command of Washington have gathered outside of there capital Philadelphia and are ready for my comming assault,If i can defeat this rebel army and capture there captial i will most likely be able to get my VP level upto 30 which will stall the EEV and prevent the French from appearing.

Grants attack north towards Philadelphia continues with the rebels taking heavy losses,This is the sort of battle that my redcoats should win despite the number of dug in American units protecting the city.

RE: Call to Arms AAR Sapper32 v Raindem
Just a quick update from the American perspective.
After 2 years of staying just out of reach of the Redcoat army I've decided to make a stand at Philadelphia. There will be no Saratoga or Yorktown for me in this game. If I win the current battle it's because I conserved enough strength to keep throwing in replacements to outlast the British. And that is essentially my strategy - Run like hell most of the time, and fight like hell when I choose to make a stand.
My plan for the defense of Philadelphia was to concentrate all my continental artillery around the city to support the 12 or so regiments that will be facing the main British thrust. I'm taking a chance by leaving an open flank near Valley Forge but I want to keep my forces concentrated. If I sense that Ian is going to try an end-around I'll call up some militia to slow him down while I bring in forces that have assembled west of Lancaster.
(this is turn 31 BTW, well before Ian opened his attack)

The battle rages on as the Redcoats and there Hessian allies close in on the American capital,The Americans are well dug in with plenty of artillery support and my footsore battalions are starting to suffer losses although they destroyed five more continental regiments

The campain to capture Philadelphia continues the Continental forces are fighting hard to save there captial city and are starting to cause serious losses amongst my troops as shown in the pic below the Hessian regiment is at 2/3 its strength my units cant sustain losses like this as replacements are only a small fraction of what i need.If i cant capture the capital before my army is worn out then i can only see a bleak future with my worn out forces having to fight both the French and the Americans
