Battle #2

     Here are a few pics of the layout for the next battle.

      Yet again, I think the Americans will have the edge.  Unlike the last battle, where the Americans had superior numbers and better quality units, at least in my opinion, this time I think their advantage lies in how the terrain is setup, and where the objective marker is.

     With so much rough terrain in the middle of the table, as well as the stream to the American right, I think this will cause the attacking Canadians some problems, in how to get to the objective in a timely manner.

       The area with the most open terrain is on the American left, allowing them to consolidate most of their forces on that side, should the Canadians go that way.  If the Canadians decide to go up the middle, I think the Americans can then use a pincer type envelopement, coming along just to the west of the stream and to the west of the left most woods, while the Canadians slog it through the plowed fields.

     I am really looking forward to how this battle goes!
