Brittanian Player notes and objectives

You are here to destroy the powder mill at Brittney. You should brush aside the Rebel forces and move off the roads to the enemy rear.

All of your units have bayonets. Most of the Rebels do not. Light troops move through wooded areas as clear terrain. All others move at ½ rate and fight as disordered while in woods.

The central hills are passable by light troops in skirmish order only.

• Each enemy officer killed or captured - 3 points.
• Enemy Commander-in-Chief killed or captured - 10 points.
