Hey all ive being enjoying playtesting this scenario against its designer Curt Chambers for a while now,we are starting again using the 3.4 beta patch after Curt has made some adjustments.Im playing as the Americans this time against Curt and his Redcoats.

Scenario name Call to Arms(american revolutionary war)its 130 turns each turn is 1 month from Apr 1775 to Dec 1785
the map stretches from Montreal in the North to Florida in the south and is 5km a hex.
Most of the forces start in and around Boston and Massachusetts although there are small British garrisons dotted around the map.
Well lets get this revolution started as im playing the Americans im going to have an advantage in numbers in the early turns until the King sends more Redcoats over from England so im going to seize all the territory i can and hope the French join my struggle against the hated British

Turn 1 Canada

American turn 2

I received reinforcements this turn including a few Continental regiments some more militia and some indians.The British have landed at various ports along the coast and have captured Augusta.
The newly formed continental regiments have scored an early victory by attacking and evaping the 17th Dragoons

Yes i agree the counters are fab and a great scenario,turn 3 was a shock for me pics to follow soon.Also i surrounded a British infantry regiment but it broke out when i attacked it i belive the new patch may have had somthing to do with that.

After the glorious destruction of the 17th Dragoons near New Haven the Americans are stunned when a British squadron sails to New York and captures the city.
