July 1777
Situation
Canada: Carleton has taken over the siege of Montreal, but is doing no better than Fraser. Howe and 12 units remain in St John.
New England:
Hamilton with two regulars is besieging Schuyler with one regular in Norwich.
Outside the walls of Hartford Washington beat Von Knyphausen very badly. I had twenty regular companies, six light companies, eight militia companies, three dragoon companies and four artillery companies. The British had twelve regular companies, one light company, two militia companies and two provincial companies. I took seven hearts and inflicted fifteen. I lost no companies and killed five regular companies, one light company, two provincial companies and two militia companies. I believe I killed one battalion of regulars and one of provincials. A nice drubbing for the Brits.
However, before Washington could escape to New Haven, Percy showed up and fought a follow up battle. Percy had fourteen companies of regulars, two companies of light infantry and four companies of artillery. Washington still had twenty regular companies, six light companies, eight militia companies, three dragoon companies and four artillery battalions. Percy loses the battle, but delivers 15 hearts to Washington and takes only eight. I lose six regular companies, two dragoon companies, two light infantry companies and four militia companies. Percy loses only three companies and two light infantry. I killed one German battalion.
All the British forces in the region other than Hamilton have been gathered in Springfield. Percy has three regulars and an artillery, Baum has three units, and another army has four units, so there are eight or nine battalions in Springfield.
Levies were good, two militia, one continental and one dragoon in Boston, one militia in Concord, a militia and a continental in Hartford, and one militia in Newport. I do control four of five cities and in Greene I have a patriot general present, but I’m pleased by this levy.
Lafayette and de Kalb join Washington in Worcester.
British levies, as far as I can tell are a single militia in Springfield.
Middle States:
Stark’s move on Stanwix found that town empty and so he took it. Albany is also empty although Leslie with one regular is directly south of the town in Kingston, and there are single regulars in Tajacook and Hoseck to the north and east. Albany is also within easy marching range of the large enemy force in Springfield.
Phillips with three regulars, one provincial, one militia and three artillery is besieging Ward in New York. Rawdon with three regulars, a provincial and an artillery is in easy supporting distance across the Hudson in Stony Point, and Cleaveland with an artillery and a regular is garrisoning Peekskill.
Clinton and Grant, with what appears to be two battalions between them are garrisoning Philadelphia, but were joined by three battalions of levies.
Cornwallis with the 49th foot took Wilkes-Barre and advanced to Wyoming. He is now outside the town, while Arnold is within. Butler with the beat up enemy 2nd light infantry took York. So enemy forces in Pennsylvania are now quite weak.
Levies are good given that I control only New York, Stanwix and Wyoming. I got one militia in Fort Stanwix and two regulars and a militia in Wyoming. This gives Arnold some striking power, so is very convenient.
Unfortunately British levies appear to be decent too – two provincials, one militia and one ranger battalion in Philadelphia.
South Central:
Stirling attacked Lincoln in Alexandria. It didn’t go well for me - Lincoln took three hearts and inflicted two. Lincoln retreated across the Potomac to Winchester. Upon arrival at Alexandria, Gates immediately retreated before combat and joined Lincoln.
Von Trumbach advanced beyond Alexandria to Eyles Ford where he met Paterson. Paterson beat him, inflicting two hearts and taking one.
Von Trumbach retreated on Alexandria, and met up with Stirling. Paterson ran into both and was beaten badly losing three militia companies and killing none. He withdrew and joined Gates in Winchester.
Stirling and Von Trumbach are besieging the single militia battalion that is garrisoning Alexandria with four slightly depleted regulars. The only units in supporting distance are a miltia and an artillery under Delancy in Baltimore. Gates has several units that are in good condition, so he should be able to cause the British some trouble.
Levies are not very good given that I control all strategic towns. I get one militia and two continentals in Richmond. In addition Kosciuszko turned up a rather inconvenient time, joining Gates in Winchester and bringing along siege guns. I’d love to get those guns into Charleston, but they are a huge pain for me in Winchester, which is behind the British in Alexandria, and from where I expect to engage in a war of maneuver.
Deep South:
The enemy 2/2 Marines marched from Charlotte to Hillsboro and took that town.
Haldimand himself returned with one battalion to Augusta, where he beat the 3rd North Carolina militia inflicting two hearts. The militia are retreating across the river.
Morgan is besieging Charleston, and Sumter continues to besiege Georgetown.
Brown and a single regular remain in Fort Ninety Six.
The British made a second breach in Savannah, inflicting 25 hits. R. Howe’s fleet bombarded Savannah and inflicted 26 hits taking 27 in return. Parker also bombarded Savannah and took 39 hits, inflicting 10 on the garrison.
Levies are very good given that I only control Camden and Savannah in the entire region. I get two continentals and three militia in Camden.
British levies appear to be a dragoon in Fort Ninety Six, and a militia in Hillsboro.
A severely weakened Continental army. Fortunately most of my cadres remain intact.
