Scenario Briefing: Historical - On July 28, 1780, Colonel Charles Sumter broke camp and moved his corps, numbering about 600 men, down to Land's Ford, a major crossing point of the Catawba. There he met Major William Davie, with his dragoons, and additional smaller militia companies. They decided that Davie would lead a diversionary attack against Hanging Rock while Sumter would assault Rocky Mount, which was thinly held by New York Volunteers under Lieutenant Colonel George Turnbull. Loyalist militias were also in the area. Sumter would also benefit from loose aid from General New River and groups of New River Catawbas.
