Germantown was Washington’s desperate attempt to recapture the capital at Philadelphia during the American Revolution.

 

Brandywine Expansion:

This is NOT a stand alone game!

You must have our Brandywine game to play this.  


Includes:  Map & Scenario.


This is the next clash between Washington & Howe after Brandywine.  Attacking with 4 different unknown columns, the British have to figure out how to respond.  Excellent replayability!


Great replay of the battle:

 


Historical Background


After the disaster at Brandywine, Washington fell back and regrouped while Howe occupied the capital at Philadelphia. Washington gathered enough strength for one more battle before winter set in.

He marched through the night to attack at dawn with surprise in four separate columns. It was an elaborate plan but several columns got lost in the dense fog that came in that night. The fog continued to confuse and hamper Washington’s troops the next morning as Howe scrambled to rush up reinforcements.

A decisive win here could have given the Colonials an early victory in the war. Instead, Washington’s biggest challenge after the loss at Germantown became surviving the winter at Valley Forge.
