Second Side: Continental Army
Date: 6 October 1780 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Medium - Location: The Cowpens, South Carolina, ~25 miles WSW of King’s Mountain, South Carolina.

Scenario Briefing: What If - Instead of holing up on King’s Mountain, in this hypothetical variant, Major Patrick Ferguson is aggressive and able to steal a march on the Militia Colonels while assembled at The Cowpens to debate how to best attack the King’s troops at King’s Mountain. There is a high amount of variability in reinforcements and releases in this scenario and should offer high replay value.

Design Note: This is a challenging OOB as the average company was 5 men. In game, I have consolidated units at both the company and regimental level. Another side effect was the fact that the portion of officers was extremely high on the patriot side, offsetting the ad hoc nature of the force.

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.
