Date: 28 June 1778 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Small - Location: Monmouth County, New Jersey ~50 miles NE of Philadelphia, ~20 miles SW of Sandy Hook, New Jersey.
Scenario Briefing: Historical - This scenario focuses on one of the closing exchanges of the Battle of Monmouth.
The tables had once again turned at the battle of Monmouth. General Charles Lee had bought time for General George Washington to form a solid American defensive line. On the British right, American Picked Men had pushed back the second battalion of the 42nd Foot. In the center, the British Grenadiers had pulled back over the West Morass. Satisfied that his baggage train and 2nd Division were well away (the original British objective for the day) General Henry Clinton, ordered the Grenadiers to fall back further.
Washington was not done yet. He sent Brigadier General Anthony Wayne's 3rd Pennsylvania (led by Colonel Oliver Spencer) to snipe at the British heels. The weary Grenadiers turned and met him head on. In a precarious position, Lieutenant Colonel William Meadows called for reinforcement and was pleased to see that Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis own regiment, the 33rd Foot, led by Lieutenant Colonel James Webster, was moving up.
Design Note: This scenario is more about causing casualties and less about holding objectives.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the American forces against the AI or Head-to-Head.
