Date: 19 August 1780 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Small - Location: Along the Enoree River, ~75 miles WNW of Camden, South Carolina.
Scenario Briefing: Historical - Learning that the Tory post at Musgrove's Mill had been reinforced with a group of Provincial troops and their own position compromised, the three colonels, Isaac Shelby, James Williams, and Elijah Clarke opted to make a stand on a ridge on the north side of the Enoree River. The troops deployed in a semi-circle and set to making breastworks and planned a trap. Two small mounted troops were hidden on the flanks and a group of 20 men under the command of Captain Shadrich Inman crossed the Enoree to engage the Tory force. The plan was to fall back and draw the Tories into the trap. When the Tories saw the line they opened fire and advanced with bayonets to clear the Rebels. Despite a point-blank volley, the bayonet charge nearly routed the Patriots, but a charge by Col. Shelby's Overmountain Men threw the Tory ranks into disarray after several of their officers fell. The Patriots pursued the broken Tories back over the Enoree for a historic Patriot victory.

Intended to be played as the Crown forces against the AI but can be played from either side or Head-to-Head.
