The Cornwallis "reserve" division (Grenadier battalions, Light battalions, Foot Guards, Highlanders, Light Dragoons, Queen's Rangers, Webster's brigade - 23rd and 33rd, Ewald's Jaegers, Hessian grenadiers) against the entire Main Army under Washington.

Was Cornwallis a power gamer? That reads a bit like the Napoleonic 'All Old Guard' armies of ill repute.

Re: This is is it!
Dave's got me interested, I've a hankering to do Jutland with all the light forces, funnily, my first love, Wellingtonics doesn't figure because I've done them all.
The great battle of Dunkirk 1871 with Anglo French forces fighting the beastly hun appeals. As does the battle of Biscay 1895, the battle of Dogger Bank 1906 or 1909.
Then there is the battle of Niagara 1862 and the celebrated Breaking of The Blockade same date.
And the entire campaign of the War of 1935 - Musso fights the Frogs.

Re: This is is it!
Genuine order of battle - and not just a one-off either, ran all through the 1776 and 1777 campaigns. The Septics didn't know what hit them. Well, they did, it was a lot of blokes with dead bears' arses stuck on their heads.
