REBELS AND REDCOATS-War in the colonies
Princeton
The scenario mapNext battle to work towards is Princeton where Washington himself takes the field. This will be an interesting battle to work towards as it sees a small British force get attacked by a much larger American one. The Britts need to hold on for 12 turns with out breaking. looking at the map above I’m going to need a river. I’ve reorganized my forces to see what I’m missing. I’m going to need a lot more rebels which gives me a chance to paint up some more colourful units.
Force list
Redcoats. Going to need some foot Dragoons and another unit.
The larger Rebel Army. I only have about half I need
Man, @denzien – I am so sorry I haven’t been keeping up with this project. American Revolution is one of my favorite conflicts. I love Rebecca the Redcoat (seriously, I love her, @gladesrunner might become jealous) – and it looks like you’re about to start Princeton, one my favorites. I won’t spoil how it ends with other readers, I just really wish things had turned out better personally for Hugh Mercer.
I’ll be watching with keen interest!
Ha yes who can resist a woman in a redcoat. Mercer was at Culloden fighting for the Jacobites then thought for the British alongside Washington in the Indian wars than against them at Princeton. If he hadn’t been mistaken for Washington and bayoneted to death he might have gone far. Or if he had just surrendered when asked? I’m painting up my first unit of American marines which might interest you.
