Mission critical (M&T): The Setauket supply dump

The hamlet of Setauket 

Intro:

In 1776 the colonies are in rebellion. In the village of Setauket New York, rebel sympathizers have been secretly gathering supplies of muskets, shot and powder for Washington's army.  The supplies were supposed to be collected today for delivery today but the local Hessian garrison has received a tip off and a force has been dispatched to search the village. Can the escort collect the supplies and escape before the Garrison finds them?

Terrain

The main feature of the battlefield is the six buildings that make up the village of Setauket. The surrounding area consists of woods and farmland

The American Militia convoy arrives to collect its supplies

Forces:

The Hessian garrison consist of three officers (one mounted) and five units of twelve musketeers

The Rebels escort consist of three officers (one mounted) and six units of twelve militia.

But the Hessian garrison has other ideas

Deployment:

Neither side start the game on table.

The Hessians pick which side they arrive from. The Rebels arrive from the opposite table edge

Hessian search the first house but it iempty

Special rules:

Events:  

There is only one event card in the deck for the game

Supply location:

Before the Hessians choose to deploy the Rebels must secretly determine where three supplies are hidden. Roll a D6 for each of the supplies, each number rolled corresponds to the Building number where the supplies are hidden. Each house can only hid a maximum of one type of supply and excess goes into another randomly determined building.  Place a marker under the building identifying what type of supplies it is hiding if any.

Search and secure

Any non cavalry unit in base contact to a building can search it by spending one of its activation. If the building is hiding supplies place a supply marker beside the unit that found them.

Moving the supplies

Once found the supplies are represented by a marker. The maker is attached to the unit that found the supplies. It moves with the unit. It may not be shot or attacked. If the unit carrying the marker recoils roll a D6 on a 4+ it abandons the marker. If the unit carrying the marker flees it automatically abandons the marker

While the Militia collect the wagon containing the muskets

Victory conditions:

Rebels escape with one marker the game is a draw.

Rebels escape with two or more markers the game is a rebel win.

Any other results is a garrison win.
