'Candle' Pvt Daniel Richardson Musket w/ Bayonet 73rd Foot Lexington, United States
Today, would be the day sparks fly. But, you didn't know that, as of yet. After going through rigorous combat training, and you were resting when you heard the order. Apparently there was a revolt going on in Lexington. You and about another hundred left Boston a hour ago, and marched through to Lexington, and ran into the town. What you weren't expecting was an actual fight to break out, and one where you would be vastly outnumbered, and being attacked by very unwarlike maneuvers, how Indians fight. While you learned a bit from the French and Indian war, not enough to face this.
Currently, you are on a road, taking cover behind a building. Around you is a few guys, either wounded or have recently died. You'd say maybe there's seven or eight left where you are, and you sure don't want to return to command with a loss like this. Maybe you would be best served by taking another look at the street? |

| You check the street. It's characterized by some bodies, blood, and a road to town. There's definitely more people hiding there, but you do see three, checking bodies, and one guarding them. |

| It'd be way to risky. You'd likely be killed, as they're probably lurking in alleyways, and you've seen someone come back like that. He's now lying in a heap at your feet. |

| I'm assuming charging would be suicide? |

| Maybe not. If you manage to fire and kill them, and reload, you might stand a fair chance as a group. You may even clear the way to Lexington. |

| A sharpshooter would not become available for quite some time. No, you all pretty much have muskets or flintlocks, and rarely a pistol, but you doubt anyone here has that fancy piece of equipment. |

| I tell my men to jump out and shoot them all at once and then get behind cover before they recover. |

| They aren't your men, but you say the idea regardless, and you execute it flawlessly. |

| A few dead bodies of the rebels, and even surprisingly one sticking out of the alleyway. It looks clear, and you've reloaded. |

| I suggest to the other men that we advance down the street cautiously and to be alert and look in the alleys. |

| "It's sewicide." One says. Two others seem that they might tag alone with you, and one is definitely ready for action. |

You start working your way down the street. One of the reluctant guys gets floored by a bullet, but the other one puts him down. You feel... almost proud, in some ways. You reach the end of the town, and execute anyone remaining. "Now, the road to Lexington!" As some needed reinforcements come.
RESULT- British Victory. Allows the way to Lexington.
'Lantern' Pvt Daniel Richardson Musket w/ Bayonet 73rd Foot Road to Lexington, United States
You have moved up remarkably quickly, and had cannons bombard Lexington. It's held for quite a while, being slowed down before you even reached it. So far, it looks pretty bad for your side, as the outside is plastered with bodies, and you swear that there's way more rebels than you originally thought. Currently, you've just marched in through the main road, and see a few houses. You suspect an ambush. Also, on a side note, you've talked with the guy that came readily. His name is Lucas, and you've warmed up to him a bit. |

| They seem ready for anything. A slow walk creeps through Lexington, and you make your way through the center, and see your counterpart coming through the northern side. "This seems wrong, commander." One says to the official. "It seems set up to b-" he slumps over his horse. "AMBUSH!" Someone screams, and a wave of deadly bullets hits the northern side, while the southern side manages to deal some damage. It's all a maze of confusion, but you see a few trying to go to the west to clear the streets to retreat and regain order. |

[you can, but probably not a smart idea.]
You look behind you, and see... just chaos. You do manage to turn around and start returning fire on the west side, and slide behind a cart. |
