Date: 18 October 1776 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Small - Location: Pells Point, Westchester County, ~14 miles south of White Plains, New York.
Scenario Briefing: Historical - The American Massachusetts Brigade under John Glover prepared a defense in depth along Split Rock Road. He used choke points at marshy ground and the ubiquitous stone walls for cover in order to slow the British advance. The British had significantly more numbers, but the approach made deploying a challenge. The Americans would repeatedly fire and fall back and the British would be hard pressed to come to grips.
Design Note: Much of the British troops that landed are not present in this scenario. Only the lead troops are represented. It is assumed that the remaining forces are busy disembarking and getting organized on the beach.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the Crown forces against the AI, but can be played from either side or Head-to-Head.
