The three clear favorites would be: Oriskany-the basis for my original AWI armies in the 1970s Cowpens Guilford Courthouse After those there are several that trade off, with the two current top runners are Blackstock's and Kings Mountain. |

Winston Smith: Yeah I got more than 5 I have a soft spot for too. Germantown would have to be number 6 if I added more to the list, and probably Camden or Cowpens. |

5. Trenton 4. Camden 3. Guildford Courthouse 2. Cowpeas 1. Moore's Creek Moore's Creek was a small battle that had a much bigger effect on the war in the South than many people appreciate. RudyNelson: the battle of Alamance was in 1771 but it did set the stage for many of the animosities that defined the war in the South. |
