Description
New York – 1776, General Washington has been preparing his defencessince April.
After leading British troops to victory in the Battle of Bunker Hill, GeneralWilliam Howe took command of all British forces in America.
General Howe plans an attack with a precision hitherto unknown in Britishoperations in north America. His reinvigorated army sets sail from Halifax,arriving at new York in late June and capturing Staten Island on 2nd July.
These troops are bolstered in August, first by the return ofClinton’s flotilla from Charleston and later by the arrival from England of a150-ship fleet carrying reinforcements including the Foot Guards and numerousregiments raised from the German Principalities, who will become ever-known as“Hessians”.
With an army now substantially outnumbering the defenders, Howe orders thefirst units to be landed on Long Island on 22nd August. Within three days thereare 20,000 British and allied troops on Long Island, divided into two wings.Half of the force will engage the rebels frontally with feint attacks, while theother half swings far around the rebel left flank. The fighting results inoverwhelming defeat for the rebels, but Howe stops short of finishing off thedefenders, believing them trapped.....
