Take the Blockhouse Turns 2 and 3

 On turn two, all of the remaining units were able to enter the table. The British used three flags after the Tiffin token appeared to advance the Indians and loyalists cross country to secure a wood which would give them an ideal position to surprise the rebels.

Continentals in mass at the primary entry point.

Two groups of state line move as rapidly as possible down the road to reach the blockhouse.

The militia and two groups of light infantry advance cross country to secure the American left flank.

The main British force slowly edges forward from the primary entry point.

Indians and loyalists sneak past the blockhouse to set up an ambush in the wood beyond.

The British grenadiers boldly approach the blockhouse.

On turn three both sides rushed to get units into position. It would appear that the British are winning the race.

The British grenadiers are now within range of the blockhouse. Who will get off the first volley?

The main British force continues its inexorable advance.

Black Feather's Indians have reached the cover of the woods unnoticed.

The loyalists get into position behind the blockhouse.

The American advance is painfully slow.

Turn four will definitely see the first shots fired. The blockhouse provides heavy cover for its brave defenders, but they are few in number and will not be able to hold out by themselves for very long.
