AWI Scenario: Guilford Courthouse, 1781

I've always found the battle of Guilford Courthouse to be very interesting.  This is a battle that could have gone either way, and I have to hand it to Greene, he cost the British dearly and lived to fight another day.  Lots of key and pivotal moments throughout this battle.  If you have not read the Osprey Campaign series book on the battle, I highly recommend it.

I believe AWI isn't all the popular right now - wargaming history shows that periods come and go in popularity.  While this period isn't getting any love right now (it seems to me) - I'm really excited to get both Breed's Hill and Guilford Courthouse on the table.  The great thing about this period, is that once you have the core of the forces built up, you will be able to run a lot of different scenarios.

Well, enough of my ramblings, on to the scenario details.

Rules & Scenario Map

This scenario is specifically written for my rules called Liberty or Death.  These are available for download from here.  These rules follow in the same base/core as my Napoleonic rules (Empires At War) and ACW rules (This Hallowed Ground).

Scenario map is below.  The area was very forested outside of the cleared fields.  Trees should be distributed in such a way as to provide difficulty to units wishing to use Run orders.

The fencing around the fields provides cover to units on foot.
