"Then This Happened!!"

 (Arrghhhh I hate that pervasive phrase that is so popular with AI and many people these days.)

Anyway, the assault on the town has been interrupted by a 'fierce blizzard' making further fighting impossible. (Mind you, some propose that the real reason the assault failed was that there were too many family interruptions over several days for the historian to keep track of what was, or had been, happening and the blizzard was just imagined as an excuse to reset the table with different figures and a better set of rules.) 

The 1st assault came from the North and failed to break into that end of the town.

 

To the South, the attack was slow to develop due to some snow drifts but some riflemen did surprising damage to the gun crews, whose powder seems to have been wet, and a vigorous bayonet charge forced the gunners to retreat.

The triumphant attackers streamed into the town to find that there was a solid line of redcoats across the road and muskets raining down bullets from the buildings along the road.

To the North, the attackers casualties were severe and the first regiment fell back to let the 2nd wave to attack but they stalled in a firefight.

Both sides prepared to continue the fight but a whirling snowstorm put an end to the fight.

So ended 2025, but apparently there was a similar incident on similar terrain in Acadia in the previous century................ but with different hats......or maybe even an assault by American Rebels against British troops...... we'll see....
