First Side: British
Second Side: Continental Army
Date: 22 February 1779 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Small - Location: On the Tuscarawas River ~140 miles SE of Detroit, ~80 West of Fort Pitt, Penn.

Scenario Briefing: What If - Historically, the combined British and Mingo warrior force started the siege of Fort Laurens by first ambushing and massacring a work party in full view of the fort. A long four-week siege ensued.

This scenario presupposes that Captain Henry Bird of the British 8th Foot and Simon Girty, leading the Native Nations have decided to take the lightly defended fort by coup de main. The various Native tribes, Delaware, Mingo, Wyandot, and Munsee were reluctant to join in and this is reflected here.

Design Note: This small scenario features random elements and is very suitable for replay of Head-to-Head mirror games.

Recommended Rules: [Default]

Intended to be played as the American forces against the AI but can be played from either side or Head-to-Head.
