Eutaw Spings 1781 scenario
« on: 25 August 2020, 08:24:52 PM »
I have posted a scenario for this battle on my blog https://corlearshookfencibles.blogspot.com/2020/08/scenario-for-eutaw-springs-sept-8-1781.html

I hope in coming days to put this on the table and see how it goes. As it will be a solo game, I am assured of victory. And defeat.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Such is war...  lol

Interesting battle. The poor Continental militia placed at the front of the 2 lines.

It was a technique pioneered by Morgan to great effect at Cowpens, copied by Greene at Guilford Courthouse and Eutaw Springs. The militia soften up the British for the Continental Line regulars.

And these rules reward this, if done right.
