Carnium v Hobbes: The Bursting of the Storm
Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 8:01 pm
Hi chaps, I'm starting an AAR showing the Pontiac's War PBEM between myself (British) and Carnium (Indian). If you would like to try it for yourself, or just see some more information about the scenario the thread to look at is here http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?p=161988#post161988
EDIT: Due to a forum change images in the AARs are now repeated. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to prevent this in older threads.
The action starts in May/June 1763 with Carnium making attacks across the frontier. The forts of Detroit and Michilimackinac are caught by surprise but Michilimackinac bravely resists the Indian onslaught. Not many forts put up such a fight, and many of the smaller British forts are destroyed, while Detroit and Niagara come under Indian siege.
Poor weather in the great lakes leads to the loss or damage of several British schooners, a big blow at this early stage. Getting supply through to Detroit will be much more difficult now.
The British have a lot of work to do.
Cheers, Chris
