American Event: Pirates - If Goliat had written the laws of war, slings would be strictly banned devices. The arms of the weak can inflict very painful wounds. A fast little boat, a few desperate men, and even the largest navy of the world cannot defend the slow transport-ships... American forces, under Colonel Greene, liberate Norfolk of their Tory administrators and, then, evacuate the city due to the sizable British force in the Yorktown area. Colonel Lee’s dragoons enter Morristown. British forces, under General Von Stirn, take Kingston. British forces, under Brigadier Fraser, take Richmond. British forces, under Butler, take Norfolk. British forces, under General Clinton, take Alexandria. Skirmish Southeast of Richmond – A British army (297 dragoons 2,971 men, and 10 cannon), under Colonel Dawson, attempts to engage Brigadier Morgan’s command (1,215 men) in combat. However, the Americans decline.
