Date: 6 September 1781 - Scale/Size: Company Level, Small - Location: South of New London, Connecticut ~120 miles ENE of New York City.
Scenario Briefing: Historical - The scenario starts at 0900 with the initial landing of the British 1st Division south of New London. Arnold's own American Legion, a company of Jaegers, and a force of provincial militia would cover the following waves before securing the Quagonapoxet Highway to open the way to assault Forts Folly (Nonsense) and Trumbull. The Connecticut militia response was slow and disjointed. Initially, only an ad hoc company under the veteran Captain Richard Deshon and the company manning Fort Folly under Captain Richard Avery were available to meet the threat. Using all available cover, they would fall back up the peninsula, trying to buy time for the militia to assemble, or as one participant recalled: "Exchange Shot every opportunity".
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.
