The Game:

The American Revolution in the South is a single map game that simulates ten historic campaigns in North and South Carolina during the American Revolutionary War (from 1776 to 1781). The game system emphasizes the importance of individual leaders, and especially historical leaders from the time period, and highlights the relative skills, circumstances, and luck that could vary considerably, often within short periods of time. Throughout the game, leader skills will be tested as their unit’s maneuver and fight, and every leader has the capacity to prove himself as either inept, capable, or in some cases, exceptional, during various incidents throughout the game.
