25mm French Indian Wars attack on a French post

My 4th solo game over the lockdown started with an idea  that I have had for a long time.

A French post by a river and a waterfall it should work as a solo game but with no edge from a gamer on the other side to make me work a lot . A full set of order to wright for the British and lost of dice rolling .

With not having lost of trees on the table but just a path to walk on through the trees can work in a solo game so if you can see the Rangers and 78th regiment walking in single file that's the reason .
Figures used for the game Parkfield Miniatures a few RAFM and Hinchliffe and Dixons  

French stand to

Indian get up and walk around

French patrol in the way back

Ranges covering party will fire on the fort to help the main party if needed

 Both sides have hits Indians this is not our war take to the hill
