Battle of Suwanee VillageNew Hampshire Forces Commanded by Colonel William Charles Bathurst1st New Hampshire (1000 Infantry) (3, 2, 3, 4) 1st Connecticut (1000 Infantry) (3, 2, 3, 3) 1st Massachusetts "God's warriors" (1000 Infantry) (3, 3, 3, 3) 2nd Massachusetts (1000 Infantry) (3, 2, 3, 3) 1st Rhode Island (1000 Infantry) (3, 2, 3, 3) 1st Vermont (1000 Infantry) (3, 2, 3, 3) Shawnee Forces> 7,000 Villagers It was 9am on June 12, 1790 and the temperature was already sweltering. Colonel William Charles Bathurst opened his tent and stepped into the Georgia morning sun. "Damn this miserable frontier," he muttered to himself. The New Hampshire militia commander was tough, and not even mother mature would keep him from accomplishing his mission. He packed his pipe full of tobacco (remarking that this was one of the few perks of the South) and began to survey his waking troops. Before long, a scout approached the Colonel and sought an audience. Trying to catch his breath, he declared, "Colonel, there is a village ahead that is completely unprotected. There are only women, children, and the elderly inside. The men must be at war! We should give them a taste of their own medicine, sir." Bathurst smiled ever so slightly and called his men to arms.  With the 1st Massachusetts, the so-called "God's warriors", leading the center front line, the New Hampshire Militia attacked the village from the northeastern side and dispersed the population, most of whom fled to across the river. At Bathurst's express orders, the men captured the villagers who were not killed and were not fast enough to flee to safety. After taking control of the eastern bank, the militia made a quick search for food, ammunition, and intelligence within the village. Finding little of use, the buildings were set on fire and the troops withdrew with captives in tow. Miles away, a leader in the Creek army, Alexander McGillivray, looked on with curiosity and growing alarm as smoke billowed into the sky. Shortly thereafter, he heard the beat of the wardrums and called his men to formation. CasualtiesUnited States -- 2 dead, 5 wounded (mostly from accidents) Shawnee -- 300+ dead/missing, 700+ wounded (mostly from attempting to cross river), 421 captured by U.S. The post with troop strengths above has been updated. A few units gained experience.

My apologies for the lack of an update for a little while. We'll go ahead and wrap up this scenario with this timeline:
August 20, 1790 -- Battle Fort Mountain American commander Colonel William Charles Bathurst led the New Hampshire Forces as it came under attack by a large Creek army at Stone Mountain in Georgia. During the battle it was discovered that the actual numbers of the enemy as well as their level of armament had been overestimated and the Americans easily withstood the attack.
March 16, 1791 -- Battle of Ocmulgee Town Emboldened by their victory the previous year, the New Hampshire Forces were joined by Colonel Thomas Garrett of the North Carolina and Virginia brigades to assault the major Creek trading village called Ocmulgee Town by the British. Though the Creeks and their allies (including portions of the Seminole and Choctaw armies in the first post) put up a good fight, the Americans overcame with superior firepower and leadership. Towards the end of the battle, the Americans suffered a slight setback as Colonel Bathurst was slain by an enemy arrow when he strayed too close to the front lines. Though the town escaped the fate of Suwanee Village, it was nonetheless completely abandoned within a decade.
Summer 1791 -- Campaign conclusion After having seen the Creeks soundly defeated, most natives stand down and return home.
