The Guildford Courthouse Battle Begins!!!!!!

"It looks like the 33 and 22 regiments are leading the attack  on the Continental Army who are sending North Carolina's militia, what the British don't know is that Washington and Lee's legions are protecting the back, along side the rifle men! Even deeper in woods about a three hundred yards away are the Virginian militia..and the courthouses final defense is the "train regiments" Greece forces and the canons...The fighting has begone folks, one man shooting another for the right of freedom....The British foot guards and infantry are taking heavy fire on the edge of the clearing!....THEY'RE INSANE, the British are trying to fill the gap in the middle to clear militia. the  Washington is fighting back along side North Carolina's militia ...,It looks like the British soldiers are forcing the militia to flee to the woods. OH, NO, is the Webster's troops... He's pushing the right flank! Things are not looking good for Greene, you see this new general isn't uses to his squads being so separated out that they can't support one another.... they seem to be about 650 ft to 700 ft away.... Things are heating up as the colonist pro's are lying heavy fire on the rest of the  second line....It looks like the dragoons are attacking the rear, It's one huge mess here on the battlefield...Aaron are you getting all this....AARON, uh,uh WE'LL BE RIGHT AFTER THIS MESSAGES : CAMERA MAN DOWN! CAMERA MAN DOWN!

The Continental Line-Up

"Okay, we are back on the Continental Armies side of the battlefield; As always were under equipped and under  maned with only about 4,000 men. It looks like the North Carolina and Maryland have sent out there militia and there regiments...It also looks like the Delaware infantry has joined the fray,along with the Light's infantry...I've never seen the riflemen look so bumped up! Most of the men seem nerves but the Officers look battle ready along with the "train" soldiers. It seems like Washington thinks this battle is important for him to break out the Army's main artillery. Oh, the Continental have brought out there own dragoons along side with their own canons!It seems like the men are carrying long,small caliber,muskets and guns. "

.....

"The British troops are advancing into the woods, their trying to get to the courthouse!...THE COLONIST ARE ADVANCING TO THE CLEARING...WHO WILL WHEN THE BATTLE OF THE AGES FIND OUT NEXT TIME WITH  C.S CLULESS! On colonial news prime

The British Line-Up

"HELLO, THIS IS THE ONE THE ONLY C.S. CLUELESS!"

"......I'm being told i should be yelling behind enemy lines...oh well...Today me along with my trusty camera man are here to give you all the juicy leads on the redcoats."

 "From where we are i can see one,two....about 1900 men, they seem to have a few regiments or squads of Foot Guards and canons...It looks like the 33 and 23 regiments are holding the front line along side the 71 Highlanders and the Bose's regiment. Oh.Oh no, they've brought in the Tarleton dragoons, along with there artillery to hold the rear!"

"The camera man is being a dumbo and is asking me what a dragoon is. A dragoon is a man on horse back,one of the most deadly forces besides the canons. They also look heavily armed and well equipped...OH NO! WE'VE BEEN SPOTTED! RUN A-AARON!"

Cornwallis' Mistake

This is Mary Mack reporting off the Guilford Courthouse battle. Cornwallis just shot grapeshot into the confusion of people, and it looks like it might be taking impact. But, not in the way Cornwallis expected. It does look like the counterattack has been stopped, but more of the British are dropping. Too bad friendly fire is on... Anyway, it looks like Cornwallis might be regretting his choice.
I'm watching General Greene, and I can hear him talking to his men. He seems to be concerned with the amount of space between his lines, this might outcome to turnout of the battle. This is Mary Mack, signing off until a later date.

George Washington Appoints Major General Nathanael Greene

Mary Mack reporting with the latest news on the American Revolution! George Washington has just appointed Major General Nathanael Greene in charge of the army in the South. Greene is the successor of Horatio Gates, the former commander of the Southern army. Greene already put soldiers in different parts in the Carolinas to keep the US in control, and to go against Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis of the British. The date is March 14,  and March Madness is postponed until the war is over...Until now Cornwallis had been trying to pursue Greene without any luck. Today though, Greene is in North Carolina with a built up army, ready for battle. Let's see what happens tomorrow.

 

THE AMERICAN'S SURRENDER!!

"HELLO, this is C.S Clueless along with the freshly bandaged Aaron to cover the rest of the battle of Guildford Courthouse!Thank you Mary Mack for covering for me and A-Aaron. We were lucky enough to see the very end to this heated battle!....Apparently in my absences General Cornwallis made a grave mistake and slaughtered most of his men. As for General Greene he was worried for his men and the gap between the canons so he called for a retreat up Reed Creek road. As the Colonialist fled, Cornwallis is trying to purist,but even the most heartless monster couldn't purist with these many deaths..."

...................

"The death toll for the Colonist is 79 and injuries are about 185 wound while the British army is 93 dead and approximately 413 injured. Cornwallis was last spotted retreating for North Carolina for fresh men and more supplies...some rumors have been circulating that Cornwallis maybe trying to invade Virginia... This is C.S Clueless signing out!    

Cornwallis' Last Shot!

Oh my.... I just got news on what just happened to Clueless, hopefully he shall be back soon. Anyway, before that incident, we had just heard of Lieutenant Colonel William Washington's counterattack from the back of the British lines. I have set up my camp at that spot, and I have a great view of the battle. I can also see that Cornwallis is not happy. His men are dropping rappidly as I can see from this point, it looks like America might have an advantage. Oh look, there goes Cornwallis behind us, let's go see what is going on. Camera man, can you get a look at what he is saying?

Shoot grapeshot into the confusion. It's the only shot we have.

Grapeshot? Uh oh, I suggest we get behind the lines. For our viewers who don't know, grapheshot means putting iron balls into the cannon ball and shooting it out. I've seen it before in other battles. Although this is quite a brave choice. His men could-oh and there goes the cannon. Let's get closer to the action.
