The French batteries fired very accurately killing  5 British soldiers during the British turn. The French 6pd battery on NW bastion fired on the Rangers and had rare miss overshooting the Rangers the bombardiers maybe showing some stress as British are getting closer and closer; The SW bastion fired its 6pd cannon and was able hit British Provincial Company exploding a soldier to pieces. The swivel 2pd got lucky with shot and killed a British provincial hitting him in the back

The French batteries across the river continued to perform excellent the 4th Battery 6pd & 9pd cannon fired (southern most battery) fired on British Grenadiers killing  2 Grenadiers. The 3rd Battery 6pd cannon also fired on British Regular Company killing a private he was in center of his company, The 3rd Battery 9pd cannon fired on a company of Marines which scored a kill.

Scenario design tutorial STEP 1&2

Step 1&2
Step 1: Select which time period you want to make a scenario 
Step 2: Research and gather information of time period you chose to create a scenario

I have decided for this scenario tutorial, I will be creating a small FIW scenario. 

The Scenario 

The scenario will take place in 1758, a scouting party of Rogers Rangers and Stockbridge Indians are returning to Fort Edward from a successful scout of French Fort Carillon, little did they know a war party of French and Indians have picked up their trail and has set up an ambush for Rogers..

Resources I used to make this scenario as follows:

Turn 010 1758 Campaign

The 6pd Cannon in the NW Bastion fired on a British Provincial company cutting a soldier in two which seemed disrupt the morale in the surrounding British companies. The SW bastion fired its 6pd and was able hit its mark on ricochet, taking the leg of a British Provincial. The swivel 2pd continued its poor shooting missing high and to the left, Colonel Pontleroy is furious with this crew as they continuously waste powder and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn!! British 2 KIA
The French batteries across the river continue perform excellent. The 1st Battery 6pd cannon (Northern most battery) fired on the pinned and hapless Queens Rangers killing a ranger private that was standing a little too high up. The 2nd Battery 6pd cannon also fired on Queens Rangers company killing a sergeant that was trying to rally his men. The 3rd Battery 6pd cannon growing tired of the British playing (The British Grenadiers March) decided to fire on the British Grenadiers which scored a kill. The 9pd Cannon of the same battery was able to kill a Grenadier from the  company higher up on the Hill. The 4th Battery 6pd & 9pdrs fired on a Highland Company killing 2 highlanders. The 9pd cannon by the bridge fired on the bridge causing three damage bringing it down to the strength 141. 6 British KIA
The French continue their retreat from the fort

Turn 009 1758 Campaign


French Artillerymen continue to fire on the advancing British forces but Artillerymen are preparing to move the Cannons over next hour. 3 British KIA

The French Batteries across the river fire away on the helplessly pinned Queens Ranger companies every well aimed French shot hits their mark. Meanwhile French Engineers begin to place explosives on the bridge (In this game there are no explosives so cannons take their place) British 6 KIA
The First Four French companies leave the fort they will march along the shore under the cover of the French batteries across the river.
