Scenario Briefing: Historical - Alerted to the approach of British forces by his forward pickets Captain Gray of the 3rd New Hampshire, joined shortly by the Albany County militia, moved to quickly flank the weak British column. Lt. Colonel Hill and his 9th Regiment of Foot were spread out along the road to Skenesborough and he only had 190 men with him. Hill soon abandoned his original mission of taking Fort Anne swiftly and moved to a defensive posture and await help from the 20th and 21st Foot. Eventually, with both sides low and ammunition, the Patriot forces cautiously withdrew to Fort Anne, to contemplate their next move.
