1777

 In case you havn't heard the news, that british General Burgoyne has retaken Fort Ticonderoga from the Continental Army and is trying to block off New York. Hes been making his way from Canada for some time now. Last I heard we had them bogged down in the forests while we dammed the rivers and we continue to sneek up on them during supprise attacks. They're trying to get to Saratoga.
