Date: 16 August 1777 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Large - Location: Along the Walloomsac River, on the New York-Vermont Border, ~ 6 miles NW of Bennington.
Scenario Briefing: Variant - The rain that had kept the two armies in their camps finally stopped had begun to clear by the afternoon of the 16th. General John Stark planned to envelop the Hessian and and Tory positions and sent several columns out in order to attack from all directions. Lieutenant Colonel Friedrich Baum, for his part, felt his hilltop position was strong and the Walloomsac provided cover to the front. As such, Baum felt confident in waiting for on the arrival of a strong relief column under Lieutenant Colonel Heinrich von Breymann. However, the relief column had struggled in the wet conditions of the past 36 hours and would arrive only at the end of the main battle. Seth Warner's Green Mountain Boys had also been delayed, but did make better progress than the Hessians, although their impact was really only felt in fending off the Breymann's corps. In this scenario, the rain was less strong, and both sets of reinforcements have made it to the field. Breymann urges an attack on the Americans who are also aggressive.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the American forces against the AI but can be played from either side or Head-to-Head.
Further Reading: With Musket and Tomahawk: Volume I by Michael O. Logusz.
