Date: 7 June 1780 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Medium - Location: West of Elizabethtown, New Jersey opposite Staten Island, New York.
Scenario Briefing: Historical - Lieutenant General Wilhelm von Knyphausen and his 6,000 man invasion force had landed in the early hours of 7 June with the intent of marching through the Hobart Gap to strike at General George Washington s depleted American Army. Standing in his way was Brigadier General William Maxwell and his New Jersey Brigade, supplemented with various New Jersey militias. Based in Springfield, detachments were spread all the way down to Elizabethtown.
The Crown forces were led by the 1st British Brigade paired with a Hessian Brigade. The 2nd Division followed behind (and do not feature in this scenario.) A stubborn defense by the forward New Jersey units slowed the march (and a lucky shot took British Brigadier General Sterling out of action). The British would only get as far as Connecticut Farms before their attack petered out.
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.
