Washington has committed two of this brigades to reduce the small garrison of light infantry int he Chew House. In the early exchanges of fire, the Light Infantry took a hit, but the stone walls of their makeshift fort are allowing them to buy time for Cornwallis' elite brigade to respond to the sound of the guns.
The remainder of the Continental line is forming to the east side of the woods in the center of the table. This puts a large, challenging terrain feature between the two forces. Will there be a rumble in the jungle, or will one army be able to race around the woods to catch the enemy in the flank?
After three moves, the British army found how frustrating the dice can be. After the first two turns, only one brigade moved out of its starting position. However, on turn three, some quality moves got the Brits off and running. They seem to be concentrating most of their forces in the Wissahickon Valley and in the wooded area in the east bank. Will they be able to deliver a knockout punch, or will the Colonials outmaneuver them?

Set up for an interesting battle. Can we see more close ups of the nice minis?
I'll be sure to get some closer shots in my next update. My classroom is about the only place my minis go where there's adequate light for close-up shots.
interesting stuff. did you make that road or is it store bought?
The roads are cast resin from the good people at FoxHole Terrain. I thought I had enough to adequately cover my 5x4 board, but careful students of the battle will observe that I had to omit the Ridge Pike (which was probably little more than an Indian Trail at the time, so no great loss) and that Limekiln Pike ends rather abruptly near the east end of the map.
