I just took another look at the next SP supplement that I am working on. So far the Title is completely uninspired, "Partisan Warfare in South Carolina During the American Revolutionary War June to August 1780". Any ideas out there?
Well I have expanded it to 21 scenarios now. It will cover several actions divided into three Chapters.
Chapter 1: Captain Huck’s Wild Ride - Scenarios 1 to 8
------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario 1: Alexander’s Old Field - June 6th, 1780
Scenario 2: Bullock’s Fork - Early June, 1780
Scenario 3: Mobley’s Meeting House - June 8th, 1780
Scenario 4: Hill’s Iron Works - June 18th, 1780
Scenario 5: Williamson’s Plantation - July 12, 1780
Scenario 6: Brandon’s Camp - June 8 or July 12, 1780
Scenario 7: Stallion’s Plantation - July 12, 1780
Scenario 8: Cedar Springs - July 12, 1780
Chapter 2: Rebel Reunions and McDowell’s Summer Campaign
------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario 9: Gowen’s Old Fort - July 14th, 1780
Scenario 10: McDowell’s Camp - July 15th, 1780
Scenario 11: Captain Hampton’s Revenge - July 16th, 1780
Scenario 12: The Siege of Fort Anderson - July 22, 1780
Scenario 13: Green Spring - August 1, 1780
Scenario 14: Wofford’s Iron Works - August 8, 1780
Scenario 15: Battle of Musgrove Mill - August 19th, 1780
Chapter 3: Sumter’s Actions
-----------------------------------------------
Scenario 16: Rocky Mount - July 31, 1780
Scenario 17: Hanging Rock #1 - July 30, 1780
Scenario 19: Hanging Rock #2 - August 6th, 1780
Scenario 20: Carey’s Fort - August 15th 1780
Scenario 21: Fishing Creek - August 18th 1780
Some of the scenarios will depart from the historical action in that seiges are not that much fun to play out on a table. Each chapter is divided by the principle Rebel commanders involved. Chapter 2 features one of my favorite Big Men of the Revolution - Elijah Clarke. A true giant among men with a seeming amazing ability to survive injury and battle. Like many such men, he has his flaws but he was definitely a presence on the battlefield that men would follow.
Most of these are smallish battles that can be redone at a 1:1 scale without having 1,000s of miniatures for each side.
Anyway, I am looking forward to this weekend. I have my kitchen pass and have the whole day Saturday free. Now to find someone up for a game.

Name for supplement: One more volley.
ReplyDeleteMorgan was asking the militia for that at Cowpens.
