British regulars marching on Concord to seize colonial supplies were met by militia who had been drilling for exactly this moment. The running battle that followed lasted over 12 hours as the redcoats retreated toward Boston under relentless fire from stone walls and tree lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo months later, on June 17th, those same militiamen dug in on Breed's Hill in Charlestown and repulsed two full British assaults before finally yielding to a third — at devastating cost to the Crown. The battle, misnamed \"Bunker Hill\" for a taller hill nearby, shattered British confidence that colonial troops could never stand against professional soldiers. These figures bring that gritty, determined spirit to your tabletop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wargames Atlantic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48945723277450,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/6984\/6666\/files\/MinutemenCover_798x798_c9a6f7a1-d6d1-4135-b484-9ab3ecc9e5e8.webp?v=1777688525","url":"https:\/\/thevictorsspoils.myshopify.com\/products\/wargames-atlantic-minutemen-sprue-x5-28mm-american-revolution-miniatures","provider":"The Victor's Spoils, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
