Brock’s small force was not successful at evading Hulls army:
My regular infantry unit was wiped out, while the artillery and supply wagons were captured by Hull. Just to make things worse, Brock got injured and is now resting in Ft. Dover for three turns
With his defeat I have no option but sending the rest of my units in York to Kingston. Hopefully I can build a strong army here that can stop any further advance from Chris.
The troops I sent to Kingston earlier, should begin to receive replacements now. I got a whole lot of fresh recruits as I haven’t realy been able to use them before:
Dearborn’s army finally took Ft. Eire:

Pike attacked my army at Ft. Ticonderoga, but it wasn’t the great victory I hoped for
It was very even, but they retreated before I could really deal out some damage.
His attack has made me change my plans in this theatre, as their might be a little hope of totally destroying their army the next couple of turns.
I expect Chris to send the army south to Albany to recover their wounds, as they must suffer from very low cohesion after this battle. With a depot in the city, they are also capable of recovering strength looses. So I really want to stop them from reaching the city, and defeat them now, so I can end the war in the east.
My plan is to use John Brant along with my irregulars to delay Pike using small Feint attacks. He should be able to reach the region south of me, before Pike moves away. Prevost will follow with another probe attack, with the same goal of delaying their movement and inflecting cohesion damage. DeRottenburg will then move east, along the very fine roads that have been built here, and move into Albany. It will take him 34 days, but if my attacks from Brant and Prevost succeed, he might be able to get here before Pike.
Rialls force is ordered to join Prevost, but they won’t be able to reach them this turn I’m afraid. Tecumseh is sent to take command instead of Riall as he is a fast mover, and might speed things up.
My highlander in Quebec is sent by ships to St John. The other highlander unit in Halifax also begins a voyage to join the front. I got my main fleet from London up here, so all the units I get from engagement points, are going to be sent to Quebec now. But I still lack transport capacity, so I can only send one unit a time which is very frustrating
