First Side: British
Second Side: Continental Army
Date: 25 April 1781 - Scale/Size: Battalion Level, Small - Location: ~1 mile N of Camden, South Carolina.

Scenario Briefing: Variant - Believing that Greene was without artillery, Lord Rawdon moved out of his position defending Camden in order to attack the American camp on Hobkirk Hill. He maneuvered to flank the American left, but his movement was detected by American pickets. Captain Robert Kirkwood and his Delaware troops were able to delay the British forces long enough for the Americans to properly deploy along the ridge.

Design Note: This scenario starts earlier than the base scenario. There is a bit of randomness in the initial turns to enhance replay value.

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.
