I have always avoided this battle because it is so odd. We have riflemen charging uphill in the woods and carrying the field. It seems to me that you would need too many "special" rules. I regularly use TSATF and Age of Reason. Any words of encouragement out there? Of course it could also be a coming out party for Flames of Liberty, too. |

There's a scenario in Land of the Free. No special rules that I can see. Is there a scenario in one of the British Grenadier books? |

One of the problems with both rules that I mentioned is that troops that run away take forever to come back. In KM Patriot troops would happily run away and just as happily come right back and even charge. |

I think for scenario purposes, you need to rate the Over-the-Mountain Men as experienced Indian-fighting frontier militia, while the Tory militia rate as farmers. Give the Tories a -5 to-hit penalty for firing high downhill. That should do it. |

Flames of Liberty is barely a page in a yellow legal pad now. I can easily add a paragraph or two. I have to really pad it before it goes on sale. |
