Day One: British Orders

In the interests of showing proof-of-concept and demonstrating how easy it is to run a campaign in this manner, I've asked the players for permission to share their written orders.  Here they are in all their original glory.  

Both players helpfully included maps showing the intended routes of march for all three forces at their disposal.  It doesn't have to be much, just a few sketched arrows.

I've held these back until here, at the very end, because they will naturally include significant spoilers.  Specifically, the location of that swamp and the existence of the small guerilla force.

The Hidden Swamp square G25 (see map)

Will take detachment Wheel as a separate detachment.

Guerillas start at D9 (or E6 if D9 isn’t allowed). They will try to delay any column heading tward Baccavilla. If the force is too large retreat over the ford to Iojimbo farm. If likely to be overwhelmed there retreat south to Orange Chick Bridge.

Detachment Lion starts at A and sends the dragoons as fast as possible (with Col. Carter) to Baccavilla. Infantry to follow. If Bacca villa cannot be reach before the French are there then take up position at Hopeton.

Detachment Wheel starts at B and follows Lion up the roads and takes a position at Orange Chicken Bridge. If a Battle seems immanent and they are near one of the other detachments (most likely Lion) they will move to support them.

Detachment Unicorn starts at C and heads up to Hethwill Farm. If the French are there they will stake a position blocking the road at G26 with the hidden swamp supporting their left flank.

If any thing is confusing feel free to ask questions.

It's just that easy.

This will also give you a chance to back-check my decision making as the GM.  Any game of this kind depends in part on the adjudication of the GM, and you might have interpreted the same orders very different than I did.  Here's your chance to compare and come up with your own rulings.
