The FRENCH & INDIAN WAR Mod for m2tw kingdoms:preview the battle of Monongahela /braddock defeat

The Battle of the Monongahela, also known as the Battle of the Wilderness, took place on 9 July 1755, during the French and Indian War, in the vicinity of present-day Braddock, Pennsylvania, 10 miles (16 km) upstream from Pittsburgh. A British force under General Edward Braddock, moving to take Fort Duquesne, was defeated by a force of French and Canadian troops, with its Native American allies.

On July 8, early in the morning, the French detachment left Fort Duquesne. Meanwhile, Braddock's column was also on the move.
At 1:00 PM, Braddock forded the Monongahela for the second time. He himself fully expected to be attacked at this point and had sent forward a strong advanced party under Lieutenant-Colonel Gage, to clear the opposite bank. However, no enemy was encountered.

Indeed, Beaujeu spent half the day in marching 11 km, and was more than 1,5 km from the fording-place when the British reached the eastern shore. The delay, from whatever cause arising, cost him the opportunity of laying an ambush either at the ford or in the gullies and ravines that channelled the forest through which Braddock was now on the point of marching.

Under a cloudless sky, the main body of the British crossed the river with perfect regularity and order. After the crossing, the British column made a short halt for rest and then resumed the march along a narrow track parallel to the river and at the base of a steep and heavily forested ridge of hills. To avoid any surprise Braddock had sent several guides, with six Virginian light horsemen, to lead the way. A musket-shot behind them came an advanced party of Gage's vanguard (300 men) followed by the vanguard itself with 3 howitzers, 2 12-pdrs and 2 6-pdrs. Then came in succession a party of axemen to clear the road, 2 6-pdrs with their ammunition-wagons, and a rear-guard. Then without any interval came the convoy, headed by a few light horsemen, a working party, and 4 guns. The wagons followed on the track with troops making their way through the forest to right and left, with abundance of parties pushed well out on either flank. At a little distance from the ford the track passed over a wide and bushy ravine.
The defeat marked the end of the Braddock expedition, by which the British had hoped to capture Fort Duquesne and gain control of the strategic Ohio Country. Braddock was mortally wounded in the battle and died during the retreat. The remainder of the column retreated southwards and the fort remained in French hands until its capture in 1758.
