Date: 19 April 1775 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Tiny - Location: Lexington, ~10 miles NW of Boston, Mass.
Scenario Briefing: Historical - The British Expedition to disarm the Rebels at Concord was off to a slow start. Lt. Colonel Francis Smith ordered Major John Pitcairn and six companies of light infantry to quick-march to Concord ahead of the main column. Meanwhile, the Lexington Militia under Captain John Parker had started to muster late the previous evening and were gathered on the Lexington Green. In the early morning light, with the sun at their back, the 4th and 10th moved in to disperse the rebels. Despite orders from both Pitcairn and Parker, one shot or more was fired. The British responded with a full volley and things rapidly got out of control. **This scenario is mostly included for completeness, rather than competitive gaming.**
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Can be played from either side against the AI.
