Next on my list of
historical battles is that of Lexington. Technically a siege, both sides made
use of field works and mobile defences leading to the final assault. This took
place over a period of eight days with key events occurring throughout the
siege, so these will need noting.
Field works are on the
list of projects, so these will be moved to a higher priority. I am not sure
about building a complete town, but something will need to be improvised. The
steamship Clara Belle was a key objective, however, I am not sure I will have
the time to construct this as I leave for a four day holiday next week.
From the maps of
Lexington, this BUA this would be classed as a township with a dense grouping
of houses and no perimeter defences except fences. The town serves therefore as
Rough Going which impedes movement but not shooting or combat. The earthworks
surrounding the Masonic College and gun emplacements would be classed as a
fort, an extended one at that.
