Date: 7 October 1777 - Scale/Size: Battalion Level, Medium - Location: Saratoga, Hudson Valley, New York, ~25 miles North of Albany.

Scenario Briefing: Variant - On October 7, Burgoyne personally led a force, accompanied by his senior subordinates, to likely make a reconnaissance with an eye to an attack on October 8. That attack was preempted by the results of October 7. The Crown forces are given wide latitude in what they wish to accomplish, and how they will go about it.

Design Note: This scenario starts out with a portion of the Crown forces FIXED but all forces will release at one point. The Americans also start FIXED for the most part, but will eventually all release as Gates reacts.

Recommended Rules: [Default]

Intended to be played as the Crown forces against the AI or Head-to-Head.
