Description

Designer Bill Molyneaux
Publisher Blue Panther
Players 1-2
Playtime 60-120 mins
Suggested Age 14 and up


The largest cavalry action in the American War of Independence, the Battle of the Hook saw Lauzen’s Legion and Lieutenant Colonel Mercer’s Select Battalion of Militia defeat a British detachment of cavalry and Royal Fusiliers who were positioned at a fortification in Gloucester Town led by Colonel Tarletan. Outflank your foes by using the different terrain hexes to your advantage. If you are the British player, deploy your Hessian allies for the advantage. For the American player, team up with the French army for extra firepower. With only 24 turns to play, the average game can be enjoyed in under two hours. The game also has optional rules for players looking for extra depth.

The game offers two scenarios:

- The Battle of the Hook focuses on the core battle between the American and British forces. This is the default mode of play.

- Cornwallis Breaks Out is a "what if" scenario, where General Cornwallis makes his daring escape across the York River, avoiding American captivity. Recommended for advanced players.
