8:00 AM June 16th, 1755. --- Historical --- "On the 16th -- 'one of our Large Shell[s] had Fell threw what they Called thare Bum Proof & Brok in one of thare Cazments whare a Number of thare officers ware Seting [and] Killed 6 of them Dead' -- the French garrison capitulated." - Anderson, page 113, Crucible of War. Thus a long siege was averted and one part of Govenor Shirley's plan of action for 1755 went better than expected.
The British are supposed to attack a fortress bristling with guns.
If it stays only at the bombardment exchange, it´s not a very dramatic one.
