Scenario Briefing: Historical - Colonel John Boyd was returning to Augusta with his newly recruited South Carolina Loyalists, but his march was stymied by various patriot militias. Having crossed the Savannah River a few times, he made camp along Kettle Creek. He was unaware that a force led by Colonel Andrew Pickins of South Carolina was closely shadowing him. Boyd commanded 700 recruits, plus supplies and a few Whig prisoners. Pickens led 200 South Carolina men, supplemented by a smaller force of Georgians, and a few North Carolina horsemen and decided to attack the Tory camp.
