Date: 2 January 1777 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Large - Location: Trenton, New Jersey, ~34 miles northeast of Philadelphia.
Scenario Briefing: Historical - With Crown forces on the march from Princeton to Trenton, General George Washington placed skilled troops under Matthias Alexis Roche de Fermoy up the road to delay the British advance. They had fallen back from Maidenhead found a strong defensive point along the Shabbakunk Creek. Greatly outnumbered, the hope was that they could delay the strong British force long enough to prevent a full-blown attack and crossing of Assunpink Creek that day. Unfortunately for the Americans, on the approach of the British, de Fermoy, mounted his horse and rode back to Trenton, drunk. Colonel Edward Hand would step into the role and lead the defense.
This Company Level version has a later start with British forces closer to Trenton. They will still need to act swiftly to meet objectives before it gets dark.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the Crown forces against the AI or Head-to-Head.
