Battle of Bunker Hill

Steve Parker has released another title in the Dominion series, this time covering the American Revolution. Called Dominion of Patriots and Redcoats, you can find it at Wargame Vault (link).

The timing is perfect as I planned to do Bunker Hill using Dominion of the Spear and Bayonet, as I had done for Lexington-Concord. Steve saved me the effort because Bunker Hill is one of the scenarios in the booklet.

The Battle

The British decide to drive the colonists from their positions on Bunker and Breed's Hills across the river from Boston. They opt for a frontal assault on the colonist defenses.

In the first charge, a hail of shot from the colonists (blue) wipe out two British infantry units.

The British bring up their artillery but it gets shot to pieces. They try an assault in the center, which also fails.

Note: I decided to add red markers to indicate bayonet units.

The British form column and charge with bayonets fixed. They manage to storm the fortifications in the center. But a relentless counterattack wipes out the British.

Breed's Hill remains in colonial hands!
