Scenario Briefing: In response to Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton's demand for his surrender, Lieutenant Colonel Abraham Buford sent his baggage and cannons further down the road north to North Carolina and formed a line of battle in an open area with gently rising ground. Tarleton in turn deployed his exhausted troops in three columns and prepared to attack, Buford, for his part chose not to interfere. As soon as the deployment was complete, the Legion was sent forward, followed shortly by a charge of Legion cavalry and a troop of the 17th Light Dragoons, led personally by Tarleton. The raw Virginians broke immediately, but Tarleton was unhorsed. He lost control of the battle, and the troopers spared no rebel they could reach. The nature of battle and its outcome are still debated by historians.
