The campaign starts in May 1776 with British forces landing in New York. For each two week period I roll a dice on a 4+ there is a battle. A 6 was rolled and American forces were quick to meet the newly landed forces on 12 May 1776. A further dice determined the weather would be poor with raining squalls.
|New York and the immediate area of operation|
The two columns with the highest dice scores are used in the battle, the column not selected being deemed as too far away to reached the battle area. If there are any ties the player has the choice of either column.
|Available forces in columns being selected for battle|
|American forces hold the buildings and flat top hill|
|British forces advance on the buildings|
|The British first line is able to take and occupy the buildings|
|The American second line are able to hold the advancing British|
|British Grenadiers save the day|
The game was close and could have gone the way of the defending Americans, save for a few poor dice rolls as their second line advanced and came close to breaking the British line.
