Battle Of Princeton (1777) by way of "Loose Files And American Scramble"

Image
Loose Files And American Scramble is an extremely approachable yet subtly detailed little rule set, buried in an old copy of Wargames Illustrated magazine, which included it in one of its issues. You can snag a free copy of the rules, re-mastered with nice illustrations and some rules author commentary mixed throughout over here:  https://www.wargamesillustrated.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Loose-Files-and-American-Scramble-Ruleset.pdf So, first up for using these rules is a quick match of Battle Of Princeton (1777) , which was not large by any means, but very important for the cause of the Continentals.  https://www.battlefields.org/learn/revolutionary-war/battles/princeton and  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Princeton offer a good basic overview of the maneuvering beforehand and the battle itself.  Speaking of pre battle maneuvering, here is a great graphic of that for the Battle Of Princeton, as created by the US Army War College.

Also it has a healthy mix of tank refueling, repair, not to mention salvage opportunities within scenarios and between scenarios when playing them all as a campaign. Some shots to show it off, from a multiplayer match from today. Our order of battle for the spawn-able platoons for our side.  Squad manager orders basics, from the in-game Game Manual section. Scenario Lead-In Video Shots. Here are a set of screens from the multiplayer match online.
