Date: 02 March 1781 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Small - Location: Near modern-day Greensboro, North Carolina, ~20 miles east of Guilford County Courthouse.
Scenario Briefing: Historical - The American forces under Colonel Otho Williams had been skirmishing with troops under Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton ever since American General Nathanael Greene had crossed back south of the Dan River. On March 2, 1781 British foragers had spotted American militia at Clapp's Mill. On learning this report Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton opted for a reconnaissance in force. The Americans were hoping for a repeat of Cowpens and had deployed militia and dragoons forward, hoping to draw Tarleton into a trap. Tarleton in this case "acted with great prudence and desisted from the pursuit."
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played Head-to-Head but can also be played from either side against the AI.
