An experienced British force under the command of the cautious General Prevost battles American units for control of the shores of Lake Champlain in the state of New York. Historically, Prevost refused to give battle; in our wargame, the Americans must brace themselves for the enemy attack. The battle was fought by the Gourmet Wargaming Club with 25mm figures, using the Age of Eagles rule set. Click here to download a PDF containing the order of battle.

The battlefield as viewed from the northeast. American troops can be seen on the slopes of the rising ground to the left; British troops enter from the north, at right.	Redoubt Number 5, invested with American infantry and a heavy artillery battery.	American infantry and artillery in the center. At the far right are green-clad riflemen.	British infantry and artillery advance onto the battlefield.	Roving bear markers (figurines) were used to hinder movement of units passing close to them in forest terrain.
The opening moves of the British (top).	A closer look at the defenders of Canadian territory.	British cavalry and Highland infantry enter the battle. Their artillery--including rockets--begins to harass the enemy lines.	British rockets and conventional artillery in action.	American cavalry arrive with artillery.
It takes a truly malevolent spirit to concoct a ruthless scenario such as the one you see here.	The American left flank is increasingly under threat from some very capable British troops.	Fortunately more Americans arrive to bolster the defense. Will they make a difference?	"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." -Napoleon Bonaparte	British infantry and cavalry charge the American line.
A flurry of heaving manes and flashing sabers!	The American left flank is broken wide open. Undaunted, American cavalry meet their natural adversaries with swords drawn.	Okay...okay...that didn't go so well for the American defense. The cavalry seem to have evaporated.	More infantry march to the sound of battle. Perhaps the American line can be saved.	The American line gains weight.
More British arrivals. Things look more dire.	Bears slow the advance of at least one British unit.	A second wave of British soldiers masses for the charge.	Crash! The British attack goes in, but does not make headway.	The American line holds, but the far left flank is wide open (and occupied by enemy cavalry and riflemen).
A view from Redoubt Number 5. The heavy battery keeps fire on the advancing enemy, and the British keep well away from the position.	British rockets keep up their erratic fire while conventional artillery advances to keep pace with the infantry.	The American success is short-lived; redcoats crash into the front and flanks of the line.	British artillery deploys to destroy whatever the infantry leaves.	Battered American units watch from the safety of the rear.
The entire American left flank is gone. The redcoats are free to outflank Battery Number 5.	The battle ends with a clear British victory! But the battle was costly for both sides.	Camera with timers are dangerous weapons in the hands--er, out of the hands--of miscreant photographers. But who here can be blamed for this photo? All are willing participants; no one holds the electric device. The depravity of it all! Good game.
