Date: 06 August 1777 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Small - Location: Along the Albany Road, ~5 miles Southeast of Fort Schuyler (Stanwix), New York.
Scenario Briefing: Historical - The American relief column led by New York Militia Brigadier General Nicholas Herkimer was approaching the besieged Fort Schuyler. On a hot and humid morning, as the American relief column snaked through a ravine, warriors from several indigenous nations led by Seneca Sayenqueraghta aided by Royal New Yorkers sprung an ambush. Vicious hand to hand fighting would ensue. A brief thunderstorm interrupted the proceedings and allowed the forces to somewhat reorganize. The Crown forces would fall back to the fort (the American’s had sortied while many of Leger’s troops were occupied elsewhere, perhaps pressuring the ambushers) while the Americans withdrew back towards their starting point, rather than press on in relief.
Recommended Rules: [Default] + No Retreat Overruns
Intended to be played as the American forces against the AI but can be played from either side or Head-to-Head.
