Monmouth

In Monmouth, the fifth volume of the acclaimed 'Battles of the American Revolution' series, you'll be transported to east-central New Jersey on June 28, 1778. Get ready to relive one of the crucial moments of the American Revolutionary War, when General Washington's Continental Army, already seasoned by the trials of winter at Valley Forge, demonstrated its strength and maturity. On that sweltering summer day, the Continentals were ready to face the British head-on, in a confrontation that would solidify their reputation. This two-player simulation wargame delves deep into the historical context, incorporating rules that add an authentic flavor to the experience. You'll contend with Lee's chaotic command, which left some American troops following random orders, and Washington's timely arrival mid-battle to take charge. Generals on both sides possess varying degrees of skill, and many have command limitations, requiring careful management of your forces. And for history buffs, the presence of Molly Pitcher, who rallies an American artillery unit and accompanies it throughout the game, is a brilliant touch. Furthermore, variable reinforcements ensure that each playthrough is unique and challenging, maintaining the tension and unpredictability of a true battlefield. It's a feast for anyone seeking a deep immersion in American military history.
