Date: 28 October 1776 - Scale/Size: Battalion Level, Large - Location: Southwest of White Plains, ~26 Miles NNE of New York City.

Scenario Briefing: Variant - Historically, British General William Howe sent a division under Hessian Lieutenant General Leopold Philip de Heister against the American position at Chatterton Hill while he drew up his forces in front of the main American lines. Following a costly assault there, Howe paused, planning to continue his assault the next day, but once again, American General George Washington would give him the slip.

Design Note: This is a longer scenario, and the Crown forces have free reign to attack as they see fit. The Americans, in strong positions out number the attackers initially, but Crown forces have a distinct advantage in quality. The Americans start fixed but will release in time.

Recommended Rules: [Default]

Intended to be played as the Crown forces against the AI or Head-to-Head.
