Date: 20-21 September 1777 - Scale/Size: Battalion Level, Small - Location: Chester County ~19 miles West of Philadelphia.
Scenario Briefing: Historical - With the main American Army on the north side of the Schuylkill, Brigadier General Anthony Wayne’s Pennsylvania Division was camped approximately 3.5 miles from the British Army. He was expecting to be joined by Maryland militias under Brigadier General William Smallwood.
General William Howe had been informed that a lone American Division was still operating in the Great Valley. Howe sent Major General Charles Grey and the British 3rd Brigade to attack the Americans in their camp. In order to maintain silence, Grey ordered his men to remove their flints and go in with their bayonets only, earning him the sobriquet ‘No Flint Grey’. 3rd Brigade was supported by the 2nd Battalion of Light Infantry as well as Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Musgrave and two battalions in a blocking position.
Design Note: This is a short night time scenario. The Crown player will need to move quickly to meet the objectives. There are, however, paths to victory for both sides.
Recommended Rules: [Default] - Night Fatigue (turn off)
Intended to be played as the Crown forces against the AI or Head-to-Head.
