I have played the FIW campaign to death and I am switching it up to the American Revolution campaign. I had a successful campaign with the Americans and now I am trying the British. I would appreciate to hear the different strategies players have for both sides. This is a full blown heavy campaign with heavy reinforcements and disbanding of troops especially for the Americans.
I am especially curious about the British opening move. Supply in Boston is substantial but not quite enough for the reinforced army the ends up deployed there. When and where to make the initial move out of Boston? Do you evacuate all of your forces at once to NY or Philly? It seems this also creates initial supply problems. Do you leave half behind in Boston and risk the Americans overrunning the portion left behind? Do you evacuate and drop your men off at two different locations to ease the initial supply burden? Or do you simply Head south and abandon the North, as it is easier to move freely and occupy different towns without resistance down there?
The British have overwhelming initial forces but having them well supplied and at full strength is a challenge based on there massive concentration during late1775, early 1776.
I am also interested in initial American strategies. On a side note, this is an awesome strategic grognard style game of one of my favorite times in history. Nicely researched and implemented. Well done once again.
