The goal of the game is to recreate the different phases of the war, either in a complete grand campaign covering the whole actual duration, or in shorter scenarios set at different starting points, such as:
The game scale is at the regimental level for land units of both sides, with smaller units (e.g. garrisons, ) being also present. Naval units are present, generally representing squadrons of 3-4 ships. The British Navy is powerful, but stretched by many responsibilities. The American Navy is small, focusing on blockade running and raids on British Trade fleets. The entry of France into the war brings strong French land and naval forces Other items such as fortifications and supply units [wagons and depots] are also present in good numbers.
The map covers North America from the Caribbean sea to Hudson Bay, and from the east coat to portions of the Louisiana Territory. “Odd Map Boxes” represent Trade Rooures as well as critical regions of Europe and Caribbean Islands All natural types of terrain of the peninsula are present, as well as a new model of weather system, showing map changes when it rains or snows, and with the relevant impact on military operations.
Both sides earn money through control of certain regions. British Trade routes give regular income, but the Americans can gain income by sinking trade ships. Purchases are limited to Cards, Replacements and mobile Supply units;
One player represents the British army with Hessian and Brunswick mercenaries, supported by Tory Militia, and the other plays the American Colonies, mostly Militia, with eventual involvement of French and Spanish troops and ships.
Players will enter detailed military operations and battles (both on land and sea)
In the military field, you have to handle troop movements and manoeuvrers, organization of HQ and artillery supports, breakthroughs, exploitations, build-up of logistical networks or fortified lines.
As the British, the uncertainty as to when French (and Spanish) intervention will occur in the game (an almost certain outcome, but at an unknown date) will be a decisive factor for your military campaign. On the American side, the amount and timing of French support, depends on your success slowing the British campaigns, and diplomatic activity in France.
No side is specifically advantaged. Both are playable and enjoyable once you capture the essence of their specific strong points and weaknesses. Detailed scenario information sheets are here to help you get into the game.
