The Whites of Their Eyes

This supplement is the third volume in the publisher's North American series (earlier volumes were Rockets Red Glare and Habitants & Highlanders). This volume is not a stand-alone product, but requires the rules from Habitants & Highlanders.

The book contains 8 pages of background and history, a 6-page guide to uniforms and flags, an optional command control system (1 page), campaign rules for use with Avalon Hill's 1776 and We the People boardgames (2 pages), plus the scenarios:

Meeting Engagements: Monmouth (3 pages)
Flanking Marches: Long Island (3 pages), Brandywine (4 pages)
Set-Piece Battles: Bunker Hill (3 pages), Saratoga (4 pages), Cowpens (2 pages), Guilford's Courthouse (3 pages)
Surprise Dawn Attacks: Trenton (3 pages), Germantown (3 pages)
Night Fighting: Quebec (6 pages) [boardgame]
Siege: Yorktown (4 pages)
Solo Game: Lexington and Concord (4 pages)

Also included is Washington and Howe, an 8-page campaign game covering the northern and central states during the Revolution. This is played as a boardgame, but generates scenarios to be played with miniatures.

68-page booklet, mapsheet, counters. Published 1997.
