Jeaupear can hear the reverand talking to someone...
"ride hard and tell them not to come this way, tell them they are about to be ambushed."

Jeaupear will peek for a look at the person to whom the reverend is speaking.

Does the visitor appear to have a horse at the ready nearby?

Jeaupear will unbuckle the horse’s saddle strap but leave it in the loop. If he can wave over someone from the meeting last night he will do so with a finger to his lips.

Croxton happens to see you.... he wanders over as the boy comes out.
The boy looks quite startled to see you. Assuming you tell Croxton about what is going on, he looks very sternly at the boy. "Ben Cook, you are in a LOT of trouble. Go home and stay out of men's business." The boy runs away top speed as the reverand emerges. Croxton looks at him, fixes him with a stare and snarles rather lowly "reverand, if you want to join the British, then leave. If you stay, fine. But I'm going to have people watching you.
For now, I'll have two men watching the church until this business is finished. Stay there and do not cause us any trouble!"
We are going to move on to the ambush, is there anything else the party wants to do before that?

Coffin kneels near his makeshift log gun and clasps his hands. Afterwards, he looks at the small locket with a drawing of his deceased wife. "See you soon, my dear."

Please give me a position then - the British have not actually arrived yet (ignore the tokens), that's just for representation for when you all act. That's assuming I read through all of the preparations right:
The skiff and canoes are concealed down by the river
Alarm on the bridge
A grenade against the carriage at the right time?
Coffin is using a gambit for a cannon, at which time the volunteers come out, he does another gambit (yes Chris, that is how we should handle it)
The skiff and canoes are concealed down by the river
You hopefully mop up....

He’ll use his Alarm gambit to set the ambush trigger on the bridge (audible alarm):
He’ll position himself for the ambush at O-8, doing his best troll-under-the bridge impression.

Jeaupear is at N-10 ready to toss a grenade under the wagon wheel.
Upon the approach of the column he uses the fog of war gambit.
Fog of War 1st-level illusion Casting Time: 1 bonus action Range: Self Components: S Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes Ducking out of view, you vanish from sight. For the duration, you become heavily obscured as long as you remain behind cover and all Wisdom (Perception) checks made to detect your presence are made with disadvantage. If you make an attack, cast a gambit, or move more than half your speed in a round, this gambit immediately ends.
A heavily obscured area—such as darkness, opaque fog, or dense foliage—blocks vision entirely. A creature effectively suffers from the blinded condition (see Conditions ) when trying to see something in that area.

The column continues to move in your direction. All of the redcoats are Surprised.

If I'm understanding things correctly, Jeaupear is going to start things.
Map is current: if you hold until they are on or right at the bridge, that will be one more round, essentially)

Mr GM, I know King didn’t state a location for the alarm, but he did state his intent to lure the Brits on to the bridge before springing the trap. Any chance to retcon that?

we can play a little loose at first for this. Yes, I will retcon this one time.
So, is Jeaupear going to be somewhere else? He's right in the middle of the bridge.... (at least I believe that's where he wanted to be placed)

ah, ok. No worries about his placement.
Ok, let's just ignore that last exchange. They still can't see Jeaupear.
The alarm goes off. The wagon and 4 troops are on the bridge and the rest of the troops (including the officer) are staying behind it until the carriage clears the bridge.

my understanding was that the volley was going to come after the initial attack.... that's what was posted in the planning conversation though.
Yes, surprise round.
Go ahead Jeaupear, then King can go. The plan was for Coffin to then engage and the volley would follow (unless I read that completely wrong)

That is where I thought we left it too. Sorry for any confusion.
Are we ready for the volley?
if so, here is the relevant Gambit text
Each creature in the area of effect
of the volley must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking
4d6 damage on a failed save, or half as much damage
on a successful one. If you choose bows, the volley
does piercing damage in a 30-foot radius. If you choose
muskets, the volley does ballistic damage in a 20-foot
wide line 100 feet long—the line must begin behind cover
or some other obscuring terrain.
I would imagine that hits either the top 5 or the bottom 6 depending on which way they aim. I assume the 100 ft long is starting at their position with a 20ft wide path. I would target the 6 on the bottom, but since I didn't specify, I leave that up to GM judgement as to the best straight line without losing any targets due to angles or without endangering King or JP. Either cluster is fine, really.
damage
Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :
5 + 6 + 3 + 2 = 16
save DC = 16

The grenade misses. According to the rules it’s a dud and bounces harmlessly away.

King will drop his carbine on the bank and move around the bridge abutment to.Q-9, taking cover behind the wagon. If he is able, he’ll grab one of the fallen soldiers’ rifles. Assuming it is loaded?

Coffin sights up the wagon since Frenchie didn't disable it.
GM - I am not really sure how cannons work, so I am will c\p the rules as I understand them but please help if you read it otherwise
pgs 58-59 for reference
**NOTE - Coffin uses CHA since its a Gambit and not real **
In order to fire an artillery piece, the gunner must select
a target or a target point as determined by the loaded
ordnance and make an artillery attack roll.
When a creature acts as a gunner, it uses its Intelligence
modifier to make artillery attacks and to set the saving
throw DC for ordnance effects. The gunner can add its
proficiency bonus to artillery attacks and save DCs only
if it is proficient. A character proficient with martial
weapons is proficient with artillery.
Artillery attack modifier = proficiency bonus (if any) +
gunner's Intelligence modifier
Artillery save DC = 8 + proficiency bonus (if any) +
gunner's Intelligence modifier
Coffin declares the wagon as the target.
An artillery attack targets either a single creature, object, vehicle, or
target point, depending on the ordnance used.
Ordnance with an area of effect must successfully hit
a target point to be effective. A target point has an AC of
10 and gains the benefit of cover as usual, increasing to
an AC of 12 if the point is behind half cover, or 15 if it
is behind three-quarters cover.
On a hit, each creature in the area of effect must make
a Dexterity saving throw (a vehicle or object must make a
Constitution saving throw instead). Targets within the area
take the artillery piece's damage on a failed save, or half as
much damage on a successful one. On a miss the ordnance
is ineffective, but at the GM's discretion may have a minor
impact on the scene.
Ordnance fired in a line or cone continues in its path until
it reaches its target point, unless it strikes a solid barrier such
as a fortification, vehicle, or other protective terrain that it
cannot penetrate. Small walls, picket fences, underbrush,
or loose vegetation may provide a cover bonus to creatures,
but are insufficient to block the path of the ordnance.
Here is the Gambit rules again
Makeshift Cannon
Small Cannon (2-pound gun) — 50 lb.
Armor Class: 13 (pine)
Hit Points: 25 (damage threshold 5)
Maximum Crew: 4
Damage: 6d6 ballistic
Misfire Score: 6
Range: 75/300 feet
Damage Immunities: poison, psychic
Available Ordnance: round shot (£ 1, 10s), wadded shot (£ 2)
Round Shot (5-foot-wide line). Standard artillery
ordnance, an iron cannonball. This shot fires as a line that
is 5 feet wide for a length equal to ⅔ the piece's range,
centered on the muzzle. Targets at long range have
advantage on their saving throws.
Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +6" :
8 + 6 = 14
Ok, so as I read this.... Coffin was in line 9. He targeted the wagon (AC 10 or maybe 12 if the guys count as partial cover) so everything in a 5ft wide line gets hit by the cannonball. That should be the officer, 2 grunts and then the wagon?
damage
Result of the throw of dice "6d6" :
6 + 2 + 2 + 5 + 3 + 4 = 22
They get a dex save for the guys and con save for the wagon at DC 14
That is Coffin's Action. He will move to B-8 behind the stump and crouch\drop prone (whatever you say is appropriate) behind the C-8 stump.
Let me know if you think some\all of that is wrong and if I need to roll something differently

King - 12
remaining soldiers - 10

Oof. Guessing that’s a miss?
He’ll drop the musket, slide to Q-9 and take cover behind the disabled wagon. He’ll draw his pistol and be finished.

yep, that's a miss.
The two remaining foot soldiers shoot at Jeaupear, since he's the most immediate threat
They have this ability:
Regimented. The footman cannot score a critical hit. The footman
has advantage on attack rolls if an ally with the Regimented
trait is within 5 feet and isn't incapacitated.
Two shots at advantage:
we hadn't actually discussed the cover provided by the tree stumps. We'll call them 3/4 cover so, +5 to AC
