The Battle Of Germantown

The Battle of Germantown
2 Player Wargame

10/4/1777 After the capture of Philadelphia British Major General Howe encamped his 8,000 men in Germantown. General Washington planned a four-pronged attack on this position with 11,000 men, about half militia.

The day of the battle was foggy, and some elements of the attack got lost. The British detected the attack, which was meant to be a surprise. A large element of the attack was distracted by British soldiers fortified in a stone house and delayed their attack. Some American units fired on each other in the fog. These complications allowed the British to face the attack piecemeal and drive the Americans off.

Now it is your chance to take up command and see if you can do better.
