Cook's Mill 19 Octiber 1814

  This game will be based on the historical Battle of Cook's Mill in September 1814.  A reinforced American Brigade was sent to destroy British/Canadian supplies in one of the final actions of the war along the Niagara. In this version the Americans must cross as the river and destroy the enemies supplies located in the town of Cook's Mill.  The Canadian/British force will try and prevent that from happening.   I have altered the historical order of battle slightly to better fit my present collection of figures.  In addition I have added possible reinforcements to create a more interesting game.  

  All figures are 25mm and rules used are my version of the Fife and Drum miniature Rev War rules changed for the War if 1812.
