The army that Burgoyne launches on June…

June 1777 CE

The army that Burgoyne launches on June 14 has about seven thousand regulars and over one hundred and thirty artillery pieces ranging from light mortars to twenty-four pound (eleven kilogram) pieces.

His regulars are organized into an advance force under Brigadier General Simon Fraser, and two divisions.

Major General William Phillips leads the thirty-nine hundred British regulars on the right, while Baron Riedesel's thirty-one hundred Brunswickers and Hanauers hold the left.

His regular troops start out in good condition but some, notably some of the German dragoons, are poorly equipped for wilderness fighting.
