Glencoe - The Aftermath

Following the battle I rolled dice for casualty recovery as outlined in the campaign rules. The Royal Irish Fusiliers were so reduced that Yule disbanded them and sent the survivors to make up the numbers in Hamilton's brigade. The new strengths of the units that took part in the fighting are as below:

Next I needed to decide the most likely course of action for the British to take using a D6 roll against the following list of options.

1 = Yule is so demoralised he surrenders his whole force to Joubert.

2 = Yule surrenders his brigade to Joubert but Hamilton is so disgusted that he takes his own brigade and escapes south across the Biggarsberg mountain pass in the direction of Helpmakaar.

3 = The whole British force retreats to Dundee.

4, 5 or 6 = The whole British force retreats south across the Biggarsberg mountain pass in the direction of Helpmakaar.

The result is a roll of 3 so the British will retreat back to Dundee.
