Thank you. So far, two gentlemen from England are reading this AAR. Hopefully, it is not just because the Americans insurrection is being put down.

The Americans hear reports of an uprising in British occupied Annapolis over rising prices of food and goods.

Colonel Williams’ command re-enters Lancaster.

General Howe leads his brigade north to relieve Orangeburg and get reports of Indians in the swamps south of the town. The Americans (1000 regulars and 6 cannon) attack Chief Blackfish’s 150 braves inflicting 21 casualties and losing only 8 regulars. The Indian war party surrenders and those that can disperse into the swamps.

The assaults on Orangeburg have stopped.

British Brigadier O’Hara launches another assault on New Bern with his brigade of 299 Tories and 500 regulars. Col Greene’s militia regiment of 486 men again just manages to hold the town fighting O’Hara to another draw. Losses are 14 British and 9 American.




Chief Cornplanter’s braves retake the pillaged Tuscarora Indian village.

Again, there are rumors that the British are using Indians to garrison an American city. Colonel Hamilton takes his militia regiment to Annapolis and attacks. He is surprised to find that not only are the British using Indians (368), but have a Tory brigade (770) under General Howe defending the city. Colonel Hamilton’s 305 militiamen suffer 39 casualties in a foolhardy assault that inflicts 10 Tory casualties and 10 Indian.

In the south, American General Howe’s brigade (992 regulars and 6 cannon) continues to pursue British forces under General Tryon (328 Tory and 556 Indian). A skirmish occurs between Orangeburg and Beaufort in which the Tories lose 3 men and their Indian allies suffer 41 with many of the braves deserting the field. The American forces suffer 18 casualties.

There are reports that British General Gage has left New Haven with his army moving due west!

Chief Cornplanter’s braves retake the pillaged Onondaga Indian village.

British Brigadier O’Hara launches a third assault on New Bern with his brigade of 285 Tories and 500 regulars. Col Greene’s militia regiment of 477 men win the skirmish this time. Losses are 90 British and 11 American. It appears to this American that Brigadier O’Hara is expecting too much of his men.

British General Howe decides to pursue Colonel Hamilton’s militia regiment (266) with his brigade (760 Tories and 358 Indian braves). Just at a critical juncture in the battle, Brigadier Poor arrives from Baltimore with his militia regiment (305) catching General Howe by surprise. The British lose the skirmish as well as suffering 25 casualties; however, the Americans pay dearly with 42 killed and wounded.

Engagement at Beaufort – General Robert Howe's brigade (American) continues its pursuit of British General Tryon’s command as it retreats to Beaufort. The Americans are reinforced by Colonel Marion’s regiment from Charles Town. The Americans (1474 regulars plus 6 cannon) assault the British defenses at Beaufort (674 Tories and 287 Indian braves) and take the town. The British suffer 39 casualties with the Royal North Carolina Regiment surrendering as well as a Cherokee war party. The Americans lose 23 men.

Engagement at Lancaster – British Colonel Norton’s brigade (1148 regulars and 5 cannon) assaults Lancaster, which is defended by American Brigadier Morgan’s militia brigade (1634 militia). The regulars have no problem in ejecting the militiamen from the city inflicting 130 casualties while only suffering 35 of their own.

1775 December Week IV


The cold hard winter of 1775 continues... with many British units focused on survival and not battle! But amidst the swirling snow and frigid cold... the sound of troops marching and cannons rumbling may be heard. General Gage is even more determined to seek out and destroy the main rebel army under Washington's command! He is eager to finish this colonial uprising once and for all... so he may return to the waiting arms of his wife and the many pleasures of Boston!

You just can't brew a "civilized" cup of tea out in this wilderness!

New orders from England arriving soon!

Skirmish at Savannah – American Colonel Marion’s regiment (488 regulars) assaults across the Savannah River the British positions commanded by British General Agnew (365 Tories). This it is American regulars that easily sweep aside a Tory militia inflicting 22 casualties while sustaining only 6 and capture the city.

Engagement North of Beaufort – American General Robert Howe’s brigade (963 regulars and 6 cannon) continue their pursuit of British General Tryon’s command (334 Tories and 171 Indians). The British Tories take 11 casualties, while their Indian allies suffer 15 casualties and disband. The Americans suffer the loss of 11 men. General Tryon flees back toward Beaufort looking for a chance to save his men.




Skirmish at Savannah - British General Agnew leads his Tory regiment (343 men) in a counter-attack to retake Savannah. American Colonel Marion’s regiment (482 regulars) is taken by surprise with this action, but manages to hold on to the city. The draw results in 5 Tory and 10 American casualties.

Status: offline 		End of Year Summation – 1775

At the beginning of June 1775, the British were in occupation of only Boston and Savannah. At the end of the year, the British occupied the following 19 out of 42 cities in America:
Portland
Portsmouth
Boston
Plymouth
Providence
Newport
Norwich
Springfield
New Haven
New York
Lancaster
York
Annapolis
Alexandria
Fredericksburg
Richmond
Yorktown
Norfolk
Edenton

The British have effectively driven the Rebels out of Maine (except for Fort Western), New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Virginia.

The General Gage’s British Army has defeated the Continental Army, led by General Washington, in four battles: the 1st and 2nd Battles of Providence, the Battle of the Connecticut River, and the Battle of New Haven. The Americans have won 8 out of 12 engagements with one draw.

Early on the British used the Indian tribes effectively causing the Americans to deploy militias all over the colonies to defend various cities from attack. It took several months before the colonists were able to chase the marauding Indians down in the north and be able to mount operations against the Indian villages in retribution. General Arnold mounted a campaign against the Indian villages in the north with Brigadier Warner and captured Fort Oswego. And, Colonel Davidson led a campaign against the Indian villages in the south.

The Americans had garrisoned the strategically important city of New York with only 1,000 newly recruited regulars and an artillery company. This was insufficient, as the British were able to land troops nearby and take it early in the campaign. This is an important lesson for future games in that more and better trained troops need to occupy and fortify the city very early in the game.

The one area of success for the Americans was in the southern colonies: the Carolinas and Georgia. There the Americans, after a tough struggle, were able to defeat the marauding Indian tribes and the Tories. They were even able to capture the Tory base of operations out of Savannah.

The total casualty figures to-date are:
Cavalry = 178 American and 56 British
Infantry = 5,108 American and 3,838 British
Artillery = 16 American Guns and 5 British Guns

Victory Points:
American = 6,500
British = 9,900

Hopefully, the winter will give the Americans the time needed to train and grow their army.

1776 January Week II


A great victory for the British!

General Gage found his old "friend" Washington at New Brunswick! Gage attacked and after a long and hard fought battle that raged on the white snow plains of Brunswick under a sunny sky... defeated Washington in a decisive battle and captured New Brunswick! Washington lost 450 men and 7 cannons while Gage lost only 160 men and 2 cannons. Gage was also able to capture 1 cannon.

The British momentum continues... even in the dead of winter! And with spring just a few short months away... and the promise of more British reinforcements from England... the future looks very bright for the British Empire's final extermination of the rebel uprising in her colonies! Long live the king!

Uprising in Newport - The colonist in Newport rise up against their Tory administrators giving them a nice coat of tar and feathers! Colonists from all over the surrounding areas join the militia.

Battle of New Brunswick – The British Army, commanded by General Gage, launches an attack on the American Army in New Brunswick. And, even though, General Washington was alerted to the British presence, his troops were not ready for the attack. The British Army consisted of 5,107 regulars, 241 light infantry, 416 grenadiers, 36 cannon, and 10 heavy cannon. The American Army consisted of 500 dragoons, 319 militia, 6,359 regulars, 357 riflemen, 24 cannon and 2 heavy cannon. Casualties for the British were 160 men and 2 heavy cannon; and, the Americans losses were 450 men and 7 cannon. Unfortunately, another lost battle for the Americans.

British forces under Colonel Norton take Carlisle.

A Continental Army unit retakes Lancaster.

General Washington splits his army sending part of it northwest and the other to the northeast in an effort to get behind General Gage hoping to cause him to withdraw from the Pennsylvania border to protect his line of communication. The units are given orders to avoid contact with the main British forces.

And, General Gage does just that moving his command back to New Brunswick, while sending a unit(s) over to take Morristown.




The American units may not be able to stand up to the British army at this time, but the army cannot be everywhere at once. Hopefully, the American soldiers can maintain their strength while continuously being on the move.

Afterwards, British General Gage moves the British Army up to within support distance of General Grey’s command we believe hoping that the Americans will not see it and be foolish enough to attack General Grey’s smaller force.




British General Cornwallis’ command takes Trenton.

British Brigadier Powell leads his Tory regiment to Providence and takes the ungarrisoned city.

Event: This winter has been rather hard in New England (readiness reduced).

Engagement at Savannah – American forces (1410 militia) under Colonel Hamilton attack the British defenses in Savannah under General Tryon (1675 Tories, Light Infantry, and Indian braves). After many hours of house to house fighting, the Americans are unable to dislodge the British. The British losses were 43 versus the American losses of 26. [Draw]

American General Charles Lee leads his force into York causing the Tory administration to flee.

Event: American privateers raid British shipping (Halifax -134 supplies and Newport +134 supplies)

Engagement at Savannah – American forces (1384 militia) under Colonel Hamilton launch another attack on the British defenses in Savannah under General Tryon and Brigadier Agnew (1001 Tories, 490 light infantry, and 141 Indian braves). This time the British are distracted by another American force under Colonel’s Marion and, then, Burr showing up on the north shore of the Savannah River. The Americans succeed in taking the city with 34 casualties. They inflicted 41 losses on the British forces. A grand victory to report to the discouraged colonial citizenry!




The British Navy bombards Savannah inflicting 55 casualties on the American forces.

Engagement at Savannah – After the bombardment and hoping to repeat their past success, the British forces attempt to retake the city. However, this time the Americans are too strong. The British forces consist of 969 Tories, 485 light infantry, and 137 Indian braves commanded by Brigadier Agnew. The American forces consist of 1331 militia, 397 regulars, and 480 light infantry commanded by Colonel Aaron Burr. The casualties inflicted on the British totaled 54 with the Americans suffering 31.

Skirmish at Plymouth – British Brigadier Powell leads an assault with his Tory regiment of 335 men against Colonel Smith’s militia regiment of 305 men. The assault fails to take the city. British losses are 6 to the American 5.

The colonies are hit with a famine that impacts everyone’s stores.

Engagement at Savannah – The Americans forces (a militia regiment, a regular regiment and a light infantry regiment) totaling 1,246 men attack the British forces (941 Tories in multiple regiments, a light infantry regiment of 476 men, and 120 Indian braves) totaling 1,537 men outside of Savannah. The Americans win the engagement inflicting 48 losses on the British while sustaining 38 losses of their own.

General Lee takes Lancaster after Colonel Norton’s brigade leaves.

Skirmish at Annapolis – The Americans foolishly attack Annapolis yet again (see the December 1775 report). This time Brigadier Poor leads his militia brigade (793 men) against the fortified British positions. General Howe’s 743 Tories and 950 Indian braves easily fight off the assault inflicting 51 casualties and suffering only 25 of their own.

American dragoons under Colonel Tallmadge locate Colonel Norton’s brigade.

Skirmish at Norwich – A British Tory brigade (1,492 men), under Brigadier Haldimand, attack the American forces defending Norwich (a militia regiment of 305 men commanded by Colonel Lamb). The British make short work of the American defense killing, wounding and capturing 30 militiamen, while losing 17 of their own. The Americans flee the area.

Skirmish at the Mohawk Village – American General Arnold leads his ranger brigade (890 men) against the Indians (800 braves) lead by Chief Cornplanter in an attack on the Mohawk village between Fort Oswego and Albany. The Americans lose 12 men taking the village and inflict losses of 23 braves driving them into the wilderness.

British Event: Intelligence.

British forces led by General Clinton, estimated at 2,000 men and 24 cannon, appear outside of the Albany defenses commanded by General Putnam.

It appears that the rebels have "discovered" white out... obscuring their actual troop and cannon numbers from sneaky British spies...

Event: British intelligence gathering suffers a setback!

American Event: Inflation – Carlisle Uprising. The American citizens of Carlisle rebel chasing the Tory administrators out of town.

The American forces REORGANIZE (+5 to readiness) their units.

General Washington continues to lead his army...(CLASSIFIED).

General Arnold has his ranger brigade pillage the Mohawk village and, then, pursues the Indians.

Skirmish near the Mohawk village – General Arnold’s brigade (878 riflemen) attacks Chief Cornplanter’s war party (777 braves) inflicting 26 casualties while suffering 18 American losses.
