Come Out You Old Rat!!! (by Jesse Loeb)

May 10, 1775: Fort Ticonderoga
48 British soldiers occupy Fort Ticonderoga in upstate New York.
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!!!
