The wait is over! Check out our interactive wargame between the "wargaming professionals" of ‪@LittleWarsTV‬ and the "professional historians" led by the American Battlefield Trust's own Garry Adelman. In August you guys were able to take the roles of George Washington and British General William Howe and vote on critical decisions during the battle. Watch now to see how your commands turned out! Will they affect the outcome of one of the largest battles of the Revolutionary War?
The wargame has two endings. You can visit each here:

Retreat in an orderly fashion to Dilworth but halfway to the city, have the separate groups draw straws on who has to stay behind to stall the enemy chase while their main forces combine at the city. The stall tactics should provide enough time to entrench and reinforce the city.

I was a tabletop gamer for many years, though not for a while. I was mostly into Napoleonics, but MOL the same era as this. The problem that the historians will have is that the gamers will know the intricacies of the game mechanics far far far better than they will. It would be like me vs. Ernie Banks at 1960s era fantasy baseball. He may know the players far better than me, but I know the game system and he doesn't. It would be (almost) as unfair a contest as he vs me in a home run derby.

@202rancher 3 года назад

In these matches with a referee, they try and keep it cool. Of course you point still stands correct. But the referee tend to advise and explain about game mechanics during play as to give more info on how to deal with it. Making it not that much one sided.

Well spreading yourself out covering a multitude of points that could be broken through with a concentrated force is a worse decision then just relying on the river. If you don’t have the troops spreading yourself thin is an even worse option.

I’ll say the US Army subscribes to the theory that this was not a “humiliating defeat.” Washington’s army-not the city- was his center of gravity. It survived, so the tactical loss didn’t turn into a strategic loss

Did the British side know that the Americans had such poor intelligence compared to their own? If so, it would be a considerable and probably unfair advantage. Knowing things the enemy doesn't is one thing - knowing the enemy doesn't know them is even better but seems unlikely in this situation.

Fun fact: When measured by length or number of soldiers deployed, the largest battle of the American Revolutionary War was... the Siege of Gibraltar in Spain. It lasted three and a half years and involved nearly 80,000 soldiers. Which just serves to show that at the end of the day, the American Revolution _was_ a global conflict.
