Scenario Briefing: Historical - General George Washington's troops had struggled on a wet, muddy and dark night march and were running well behind schedule. Lieutenant Colonel Charles Mahwood was already on the march. As the opposing forces, became aware of each other, both sides, tried to concentrate their forces and moved to the attack. Mahwood used his light troops to try and screen his maneuvers. He reversed direction and moved to secure Princeton. American Brigadier General Hugh Mercer's brigade was bringing up the rear of Washington's column. They would bear the brunt of the British attack in the fields south of Princeton.
