Date: 28 June 1778 - Scale/Size: Battalion Level, Small - Location: Monmouth County, New Jersey ~50 miles NE of Philadelphia, Penn, ~20 miles SW of Sandy Hook, New Jersey.
Scenario Briefing: Historical - (Part 1 of a 3 part look at the Battle of Monmouth.) On the morning of June 28, Major General FW von Steuben and a small detachment of dragoons were observing the tail of the British army heading north out of Freehold. The rear guard, led by Brigadier William Erskine, observed them in turn. Erskine dispatched Colonel JG Simcoe to dispatch the Americans. Simcoe led a small troop of horse, supplemented with his grenadiers, north of the East Morass to engage. They bumped into some New Jersey militia and a mad scramble ensued. Scott's Brigade under Colonel William Grayson arrived to offer support and stabilize the situation.
Design Note: This is a very small, short scenario. Objective values are low and casualties will have a significant impact. Securing the crossing across the West Morass will secure a British victory, but there are many other paths to victory.
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.
