My face, my beautiful face...
Colonel Benedict Arnold requested the town of Quebec to surrender, but was denied.
Give up now!!
No u.
Deciding he lacked supplies, Arnold was forced to wait for Montgomery to fight.
Troops, I'm afraid we can't fight until General Montgomery shows up to help aid us in the battle.
But I want to kill someone nowww!

L'attaque échoue lamentablement. Sur les 1 200 Américains qui ont combattu, 400, dont le général Montgomery, sont morts, ce qui en fait la première des nombreuses pertes américaines majeures de la guerre d'indépendance.
