MONMOUTH 1778 – AWI BLACK POWDER MEGA GAME
December 4, 2016
Sunday 4th December 2016 (10.30am – 5.30pm)
15th June 1778 – The British have abandoned Philadelphia and are marching back to New York. Hampered by hundreds of wagons, their progress is slow.
Early on June 28th the American Advance Guard under Major General Charles Lee have caught and engaged the British Rearguard. Strong British counter attacks soon put the Americans into headlong flight and sensing an opportunity, Lt General Sir Henry Clinton orders Cornwallis’ elite Corps to assault the oncoming American main body. Washington, having seen his Advance Guard troops fleeing across the fields has begun to organise his army to face the onrushing Redcoats.
Battle is set…all we need now is you…..
