Going after the Headless Horseman!

 His head has been found and the colonials will fight to keep the Headless Horseman from repossessing his melon! We had an entertaining Halloween Rebels &Patriots game today. We played scenario 1 with the objective being the Horseman’s freshly dug up head.  I played the Horseman and his minions while my buddy commanded the colonials. Battle Highlights included my right flank Jager skirmishers repeatedly failing to activate with back-to-back shake eyes rolls and retreating off the board While the left flank jagers advanced to the objective and managed to score a couple of points and recovering a modicum of honor for the jager corps. The Americans would win the day however, their withering fire mauling the Hessians, assuring that the Horseman’s head remained an isolated detachment for the time being.

The tide starts to turn against the Germans and losses begin to mount.(below)

By this point the Headless Horseman has lost his command and withdraws in defeat.(below)

The Headless Horseman Scenario for Rebels & Patriots

Old Glory's General Nathaniel Greene figure lost his head for this conversion to the Headless Horseman. He'll have a starring role in a Rebels & Patriots Halloween scenario I'm putting together.
