Did you consider transforming the two supply trains at Ft. Niagara into an additional depot level? It would have solved your supply troubles and sped up the recovery of your units.

However, this defeat was to prove strategically rather useful in September, as it seemed the English forgot something rather important.
Good stuff. A real mixed bag of results with a truly impressive and commendable effort from America's generals to cause as much self-inflicted damage as possible. A close contest but I rather think Miller my winner considering that he lost despite overwhelming numbers in his favour and his facing no enemy general. Contest aside things seem rather delicately poised, I have to wonder what Harrison is going to get up to in September though.
maybe its just me ,but militia seem to be completely worthless losing miserably and barely inflicting any casualties even in defense.
This is the first AGEOD AAR that I am following. It certainly is interesting. Subscribed
Does Narwhal leave York undefended, ready for the taking by your battle-hardened (i.e. repeatedly defeated) troops?
Harrison's directional impairment is, frankly, difficult to find an excuse for. But regarding the militia: obviously, their job isn't to fight, it is to plunder liquor stores and burn down stuff. If they wanted to fight, they'd join the regular army, right?loki100 said:In a panic Harrison marches in the wrong direction, northwards as opposed to safety and the militia at Burlington decide that actually fighting is not what they signed up to do.
Among his diplomatic papers was yet another love letter to his dearly cherised lost lover, Astride
Love the writing as usual guy, loved readying Narwhal's RoP Prussia PBEM AAR and this is shaping up to be just as good so far. Still making my way through from start to finish since I am fairly new to reading the AGEOD AAR section, but couldn't wait to offer some encouragement.
Not quite... depends on the front. On the Ontario, it is going to belly up soon.Seems like Narwhal is recovering nicely from the not-so-nice-for-him events in the last few turns. And he gave Dearborn a good thrashing - that looked painful, loki.
I dont think Harrison will get his 30 day presidency if he keeps this up.
Yes, uh, the great love both have for each other is evident!
As ever strong stuff from Narwhal, Britain has bounced back from some earlier troubles and with Dearborn seemingly trapped, he is in a very strong position.
As for America perhaps Harrison and the militia at Burlington were simply making late entries into the 'Who can do the most damage to themselves' competition.
A bruising defeat for Dearborn, if he is unable to escape his predicament that will prove a sore blow for loki. Interesting that America has such strong naval dominance though, to the extent that Narwhal is unable to call in anymore reinforcements. Still, perhaps Brock is right and no more reinforcements are required.

I actually, I just lost one of my 4 Engagement Point sources, and EP is a small part of the reinforcements I receive (20% ?), so no big deal
I don't think America's hold on York is very secure, and Dearborn (and/or his component units) look like they're in for a rough time.
At least Van Rensselaer is menacing Fort Erie with his 'Army in Being' approach (AKA 'Sitting on your arse all day').
Nautically, the Americans are really exceeding expectations on a grand scale, but as far as the land war goes, I'm less sanguine about their prospects. Oh well, wait and see, as always, as my predictive powers in these player-versus-player AARs are probably considerably worse than if I simply choose by pure chance.
It seems like Narwhal is making a number of make it or break it moves this month. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
