Date: 18 August 1780 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Small - Location: Overlooking the Catawba River, South of Great Falls, 25 miles NW of Camden, South Carolina.
Scenario Briefing: Variant - Historically, American Brigadier General Thomas Sumter had slipped away in the early morning hours of 18 August, spurring the commander of the British Legion, Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton, to pursue with a few troops of cavalry and what infantry that could be mounted or ride second saddle, and eventually caught up with and surprised Sumter near Fishing Creek. This scenario supposes that Sumter got a later start, and Tarleton was able to attack the American forces in their camp.
Design Note: For this variant, the Legion has its full complement of units. The Americans are getting underway, but not as completely unprepared as at Fishing Creek. The Americans have options for Exit hexes and must weigh defending Rocky Mount itself to delay the Crown forces.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the Crown forces against the AI or Head-to-Head.
