Date: 31 August 1778 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Small - Location: outside Yonkers, New York, ~4 miles north of the King's Bridge at the northern end of Manhattan.
Scenario Briefing: In one of many engagements in Westchester County, New York, during the summer of 1778, a small force of Continental Light Infantry led by Colonel Mordecai Gist ambushed a company of Jaegers led by Captain Carl Moritz von Donop on the road to Philpse's (now Yonkers). Once the ambush was sprung, von Donop would lead the jaegers in fighting their way back to their own lines at Kingsbridge.
This ambush would lead to a meeting of the leaders of three Provincial Corps, Lieutenant Colonel John Graves Simcoe, Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton and Lieutenant Colonel Andreas Emmerick. They set on a plan of revenge that very afternoon.
Design Note: There are a few low point objectives here, but the main focus should be on inflicting casualties on the opposing force. However, ignore the objectives at your peril!
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the Crown forces against the AI but can be played from either side or Head-to-Head.
