Posted - August 09 2005 : 08:12:51 AM Rumour has it that Baron Dieskau and Troupes de Terre have been spotted moving south down Lake Champlain. Since it's 1755 and Major Rogers is still only a scout in New Hampshire, Schroth's NY Coy will not be wearing our coatees this weekend. Still we farmers and boardermen hope to show the French what they can expect if they continue with their folly. |

Posted - August 15 2005 : 3:38:32 PM Goodman Kurt, I am glad to hear that you gave 'frenchy' a proper thrashing. That will teach them not to meddle with the hearth & home of His Majesty's yeomanry. The campaign south of you, did not go so well for General Braddock and the men of the 44th & 48th Regiments. Hopefully, the French will have learned their lesson before the main force of King's Regulars arrive in the colonies...

Posted - August 15 2005 : 06:48:56 AM Saturday was the better weather but we did manage manouvers on Sunday. My bess was quite cooperative in spite of the sprinkling, one misfire out of thirty. From what I was able to hear from the narrator, we were interpreting the Bloody Scout which of course was the other end of Lake George. No tactical this year.
As we New York militia and bordermen enterered, we sent two scouts well ahead. Suddenly our scouts fired and were overwhelmed before they could bite a second cartridge. Our main force came forward and the French and their Indian allies sprang their trap! We went at it hammer and tongs until our reserves came up. We fell back to protect the cannon. Then the call came and we came up and pushed the French from the field. |
