Scenario Notes
The table is flat with the plantation buildings at the Eastern end. The main house is two stories tall and provides hard cover for any troops inside. The other buildings are a single storey and provide light cover. The POW camp is made up of tents which do not impede movement or firing. They will simply be knocked down if moved over, the prisoners within fleeing and playing no part in the game.
The fenced field to the South is overgrown and counts as Broken Ground. The trees to the North are orchards. The rail fences provide light cover as will the wagons. The latter may be moved up to 1D6 inches in a turn by any Group of five men or move spending that turn pushing them.
This game is won by the force which can break their opponent’s Force Morale
Somewhere in the TS version of South Carolina, no less fictional but more believable than Mr Gibson's version. |
The Rebels Moveable Deployment Point 24" from their fixed one. |
Captain Isaacs and the Regulars deploy |
The Prince of Wales regiment deploy their two groups to the right. |
Swampy Gibson comes on table from the main deployment point, the road will speed his march. I plan to get his force into the scrub. |
The lines close |
The Rebel volley is poor |
The Crown Forces batter the rebels with a devastating first volley |
The death of Colonel Horny |
The POWs run for it, but the rebels are losing badly. |
