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: There is a high amount of variability. Lord Rawdon is fixed and should take several turns to release. He may become temporarily fixed again as well. Both sides have reinforcements that may or may not appear, with variability as to which entry hex. For the Americans, both Marion's Partisans and Lee's Legion had been pursuing Lieutenant Colonel JW Watson who had been trying to reinforce Camden.
