Setup for Scenario 3 of Singling and other Things

I am finally finishing off the SIngling campaign. The third of the three scenarios is almost set up for a play test over the weekend. The last scenario is a fairly simple one with German armor attempting to move on the town center and the US armor on the outskirts trying to stop them. Hopefully, this will let me finish this and be able to release it soon.

Sharp Practice has started its pull on me again. I am looking at the January to May 1779 period in Georgia again and wondering if it would make for an interesting multi-player game similar to Thomas' Star of Bravery. I am looking at the possible factions and how to address them. There are so many groups operating there that it presents some colorful options. There is the recently victorious British Regulars in Savannah who took the city in December 1778. The Provincial Units that were raised locally and brought in as support as well as the loyalist Militias. The Militia units were from East Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina as well as Georgia locals. On the other side, there were the Continental Army stationed in South Carolina that operated across the Savannah River. The Georgia State Line troops had largely been absorbed by the Continental army. And the County Militias. Wilkes, Richmond and Burke Counties had very active militias that opperated up and down the Savannah River area and some times further south towards Sunbury, Georgia. Operating with part time troops, the militia of both sides struggled to keep their numbers up. Often men flocked to more popular leaders. When that didn't work, sometimes more coercive methods were used to build up the numbers. With men fighting on one side then another depending on whom had more power to force service in his local area.

This period of the war included some significant battles such as Kettle Creek and Briar Creek that could make for interesting conclusions to the campaign. However, I am not sure how to pull this off yet. I am looking at some form of map campaign based on the excellent Campbell Map of 1779. This map covers Georgia from Savannah to Augusta. It does not include Wikles County which lay just to the north. It will be interesting if I can pull this together.
