The Americaners moved to repel the British.

[Shrillland]

The first troops to land met stiff resistance from the Americaners, and were now entrenched in a bitter battle. Meanwhile, more British ships moved closer to attack the Americaners on land, while repelling the murderous assaults from their navy.

The Americaner navy followed behind, hoping to trail them without provoking a naval battle. About 30,000 militiamen were mobilized independently to defend the Maritimes.

Countryside of Maine

More raids fell upon the British soldiers, who were now trying to perform counter-raids before arriving in Brunswick tomorrow.

The Americaners kept the raids up.

The British here moved to attack the city's coastal defences, while landing the troops about 10 miles west of the city.

Heckingham, Norfolk

In Britain, while the Church of England had been split into two factions after Melbourne's appointment, another major event occurred. Workhouses were starting to pop up across Britain as result of the 1834 Poor Law Amendment, and most poor people were now being sent to them rather than to debtors' prisons. Today one in the town of Heckingham had been burned down by arsonists in protest of the Poor Law.

The Americaners moved to destroy the "red wedge", as it would later be nicknamed by military historians.

St. John, New Brunswick

The British armies here had sizeable Cavalry on more gentle terrain, and here they rode into the fray.

The Americaners moved to pull the strategy of Washington's first battle in the First Revolution: they moved forces to the flanks, leaving the center weak.

[Shrillland]

Brunswick, Maine

The British, using this old Roman tactic, managed to defend it's edges while weakening the centre. By the time they arrived in the town however, they were forced to break the wedge up, and started fighting wherever a Blue uniform was found.

St. John, New Brunswick

Were young Ishikawa leading this expedition he wouldn't have fell for the American tactic. As it was however, Keane did.
