In 1775, the simmering resentment of American colonists exploded into a bloody rebellion. Beginning in Boston, the conflict eventually stretched from Canada in the north to Florida in the south and lasted eight grueling years. On one side stood the King's redcoats and settlers loyal to their sovereign, later joined by regiments of 'Hessian' mercenaries.
Ranged against them was a citizen army under the inspirational leadership of George Washington, supported by militia, and eventually French troops eager to embarrass their old foe. Both sides were forced to learn new tactics for fighting in the wild terrain of North America, in a conflict that saw heroism and ineptitude in equal measure.
This supplement for Black Powder describes the history, armies, personalities, and battles of this conflict. Included are scenarios allowing you to recreate many of the battles of the rebellion.
