48 British soldiers occupy
A small force of Green Mountain Boys come to INVADE the establishment.
Allen says, "COME OUT YOU OLD RAT!!!" to the fort's commander, Captain William Delaplace.
He then demanded that the British commander surrender the fort "In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress!"
Lieutenant Jocelyn Feltham surrender's the fort.
Later, the fort's commander appears and surrenders his sword. With the capture of the fort, the Patriot forces obtained a large supply of cannons and other armaments.
American VICORY!!!
British FAIL!!!
