Very nice set up. Thanks for sharing, but I am now feeling very cold.
Off to get a nice hot cup of tea.

Very inspiring.
Does it play as  a good game . The colonials outnumber the outpost  Brits overwhelmingly, does it make it too one sided  ?

It played very well. The Americans on the other side of the creek are not nearly as good a quality as the British. In these rules a unit rated an "A" is very difficult to stop. Most of the Americans on the other side of the creek were rated "E" or "F".

In the actual battle the British tried three times to cross the creek before Cornwallis put an end to it. His troops had made a long  march and were constantly under fire the entire trip. It was already dark and he saw no way that Washington could escape. As we all know it didn't work out that way.

I seem to have missed it; what rules were used for this lovely game?

The rules are "Sons of Liberty" which are our own club rules. The units are battalions/regiments and one gun stand is a battery. If you click on the description where it says "Show more" at the top of the album. It has all these details including a bibliography. The scenario was researched and written by yours truly. This was a playtest of the scenario. It will need some tweaking. I need to adjust the American order of battle.
