Lexington Concord Campaign Using Dominion

With the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution about to begin, I decided to play some Revolutionary War games. I'm using Dominion of the Spear and Bayonet. Designed for 19th Century colonial battles, it seems to work fine for the Revolution.

The Campaign

I decided to do a series of linked battles representing the battles of Lexington and Concord. I did a little online research and found a good scenario at Grymauch's Solo Wargaming Blog.

Basically, I'm treating each unit in his order of battle as a stand, which I'm calling a company.

Rather than one big board, like Grymauch, I'm running separate battles at each strategic locale. Here is my map.

.

The first battle will occur at Lexington. If the British win, they advance to Merriam's Corner, then to Concord. Their goal is to seize Concord.

Lost companies may return after a battle. I roll randomly to check. This represents temporary disorder that gets addressed before moving on.

Americans may get reinforcements after every battle. British reinforcements leave Boston after the 3rd battle.

Orders of Battle

British

• Col. Smith - 1 co. Light Infantry (skirmishers), 1 co. Grenadiers (bayonets)
• Brig. Percy (reinforcements) - 4 cos. Line Infantry, 1 battery Artillery

Americans

• Col. Gardner - 2 cos. Militia (ambushers) - 1 in Lexington and 1 in Merriam's Corner
• Col. Barrett - 3 cos. Militia
• Col. Pierce - 2 cos. Militia

Stay tuned for the first battle report on Sunday the 20th Saturday the 19th.
