The “Room For One More” has its limitations….overhead light doesn’t work. One of those fan lights with wiggy wall switch. Trouble shot it. Must be the bulb. Two person job to remove since fixture so spindly. Need a repair accomplice. So, daylight sessions with the Brandywine scenario.
I want to believe this is a “process over results” effort. Slow sledding since accounts are conflicting, and the map scale had me puzzled. According to the Command Post Games site, their Pub Battles’ maps have a 1/1600 scale as opposed to Kriegsspiel’s 1/750-1/800 scale. I was perplexed because distances seemed off. When I checked the map’s scale legend against my Kriegsspiel Distance Ruler, the map was, in fact 1/800 or so.
I hammered my way through working out time-distance movements for the Continental right flank’s shift. Came fairly close, with some help from concepts published at this interesting site.
So, here we are…….Top photo is Cornwallis approaching Osborne Hill, where his forces took a break from their 9-hour flank march. Bottom photo shows the British demonstration at Chadd’s (also spelled Chad’s in some accounts) Ford. Time is approximately 1400.
