In the fifth game of the Swamp Fox campaign from the Too Fat Lardies, the Rebels have heard that the Crown forces are guarding supplies which the Rebels would like to lay their hands on.
In this scenario the Rebels deployed their troops along the southern edge of the field with the Crown forces being deployed in the various camps.
The Rebel veteran militia did a controlled volley into the troops congregating around camp 3, with a shocking result.
The Swamp Fox himself deployed with his militia and fired into the Crown militia, causing one group to fall back.
Meanwhile, the Rebel skirmishers decided to go for a walk in the swamp, hoping to outflank the Crown forces.
Lieutenant Colonel Tynes had a last gotten what was left of his militia into some semblance of order
when William Dukes turned up with his newly raised militia and started to disorder it.
What was left of the Loyalist rangers retired back into the swamp and using the long range of their rifle to snipe at the Rebels.
Sensing that they might not get any supplies, the Rebels advanced. Although this did take many turns with lots of ones on the movement dice and calls for a change of the dice.
With one group managing to seize some supplies.
The area around the supplies soon became a Rebel graveyard, with the remnants of the Crown forces pouring fire into the supply dump. However, William Dukes and his militia got a lucky shot on Lieutenant Colonel Tynes, knocking him out.
Taking advantage of the lack of opposition leadership, the Rebels seized the supplies and thus took victory.
