His reinvigorated army sets sail from Halifax, arriving at new York in late June and capturing Staten Island on 2nd July.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese troops are bolstered in August, first by the return of Clinton’s flotilla from Charleston and later by the arrival from England of a 150-ship fleet carrying reinforcements including the Foot Guards and numerous regiments raised from the German Principalities, who will become ever-known as “Hessians”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an army now substantially outnumbering the defenders, Howe orders the first units to be landed on Long Island on 22nd August. Within three days there are 20,000 British and allied troops on Long Island, divided into two wings. Half of the force will engage the rebels frontally with feint attacks, while the other half swings far around the rebel left flank. The fighting results in overwhelming defeat for the rebels, but Howe stops short of finishing off the defenders, believing them trapped.....\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrepare your Army and make your plans to fight this battle with the new American War of Independence British Starter Army:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains the following 28mm hard plastic figures and bases:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120 British line Infantry including full command\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 Hessian Mercenaries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Woodland Indians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Cannon and Crew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Mounted Commander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Casualty figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-colour flag sheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"\u003eModels supplied unassembled and unpainted \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warlord Games\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Powder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStock Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf this item is not currently in stock at time of order, we will order it for you as a \u003cstrong\u003eDirect Order\u003c\/strong\u003e from Warlord Games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect Order items are sourced directly from the manufacturer on your behalf.
