Date: 28 June 1778 - Scale/Size: Battalion Level, Large - Location: Monmouth County, New Jersey ~50 miles NE of Philadelphia, ~20 miles SW of Sandy Hook, New Jersey.
Scenario Briefing: Variant - The armies are (or will shortly be) underway. The American Vanguard under the prickly Major General Charles Lee are anxious to engage the enemy should the opportunity arise. General Henry Clinton’s concern is to continue shepherding the baggage and non-combatants to safety, and eventually New York City. The British Van is led by the ranking Hessian officer, Wilhelm von Knyphausen. The rear, 1st Division, is commanded by the talented and aggressive Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis. He would be tasked with ensuring the massive column got underway safely.
Design Note: This scenario is a full unscripted version of Monmouth Courthouse. It starts at dawn with the armies slowly getting underway, dispenses with the mid-morning shuffle of the American command, and then continues throughout the day. It is a fairly complex scenario, with plenty of random elements, high value objectives, as well as exit objectives for both sides. The Crown could simply exit every unit for a draw, but to win needs to fight and delay the Americans from their pursuit. It should be a delicate balancing act.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played Head-to-Head.
