Let me explain.<br /><br />The two main avenues of approach into the others' sphere of influence is via either the Mohawk River or the Lake Champlain/Lake George/Hudson waterway.

A force unable to reach a supply source can literally disappear in the wilderness.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-38124161368714515742018-03-26T13:40:45.517-07:002018-03-26T13:40:45.517-07:00I was thinking the same thing as Peter.
