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: Historical - Following the early morning events of 31 August, Lieutenant Colonel John Graves Simcoe, with a combined Provincial force, set out to ambush a small column of Americans. The lead element was a group of American allied Stockbridge Mohicans. Trailing behind was a company of light infantry led by Major JH Stewart.

Design Note: There are only exit objectives here for the Americans The Crown focus should be on inflicting casualties on the Americans and the Stockbridge Militia, or avoiding/escaping as the Americans. Historically Emmerick was supposed to be in position to block the escape, he failed, but in the end, it was moot. The Americans *may* receive an additional reinforcement, but that is far from certain.
