Date: 26 September 1780 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Small - Location: Charlotte, North Carolina.
Scenario Briefing: Historical - Colonel William Richard Davies deployed his militia carefully throughout the small county seat of Charlotte, North Carolina, guarding the approached as best he could. The British vanguard was composed of the ever present British Legion. However, their now infamous leader, Colonel Banastre Tarleton was fighting an illness and passed command to the less formidable commander, Major George Hanger. The Legion cavalry was first on the scene and pressed forward their attack. Hanger was wounded in the ensuing fight. The Americans led a spirited defense, but withdrew upon the arrival of the main British force.
This scenario covers the early action between the British Legion (supplemented by a light company from the Volunteers of Ireland) and Davies’ North Carolina militia and the fight for the Courthouse. Victory hinges on the capture of the main intersection near the Courthouse.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the American forces against the AI but can be played from either side or Head-to-Head.
