We ran a game at MillenniumCon using JJD figures. It was on a 6x18ft table. There is a narrative of the game below.

At one end lay a British fort. At the other end was the British supply column. In the middle was a river crossing outpost manned by Rangers. The rest was dense forest.
The upcoming Mayhem & Mohawk rules from Two Hour Wargames was used for play. After a short period players were able to run the game themselves with little help.
A force of French regulars and marine began the game by launching an attack on the fort. As planned a large placed powder keg went off shortly after dawn breaching the British walls. As the French regulars charged it appeared the game might be a short one. However, at this point the French faltered their morale and were left exposed in the open.
Meanwhile the Ranger began marching to relieve the fort, leaving the river barricade virtually undefended. While en route, a Anglican pastor was spotted to the north from the barricade watch station. Paster Summers was attempting to return to the fort with a wounded Grenadier and a Black Watch soldier. Their horse had been shot.
The Rangers altered course to retrieve the parson.
The supply column reached the river and began the slow process of shuttling across the river when Indians attacked from the north.
Meanwhile, another band of indians appeared near the fort. French groups continued to attempt an assault through the wall breach and finally succeeded only to be met by a British cannon. One round of canister was delivered just in time.
As more French headed for the breach, the Rangers finally arrived at the fort, taking a group of French marine in the rear.
Still one more French charge succeeded in entering the fort, this time met with an organized volley fire from British regulars of the 44th Foot.
The supply column was able to cross finally, arriving inside the barricade just as an Indian band attempted to take the before abandoned outpost. A mixed bag of colonial militia, wagoneers and British regulars of the 28th Foot fought off the attack.
The battle concluded with the virtual destruction of the French forces. With the fort and barricade still in hand, and the Parson safe, a victory was declared for the British.
