Scenario Briefing: Historical - Having blundered into each other in the early morning hours, the armies lay on their arms and awaited the dawn. Horatio Gates' army was too strung out, and to turn back would invite disaster. The decision was made to stand and fight, trusting that American numbers would make up for the inexperienced troops. Cornwallis, on the other hand, with a creek at his back, was compelled to put his faith in his veteran troops. Both armies would deploy into battle lines in the predawn hours. The British maneuvered in column to approach, forming their battalions into line a few hundred yards from the Americans as they went on the attack.
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.
