The peaceful farmstead of Munger is about to be plunged headlong into the maelstrom of unrest that is creeping through the state. For weeks the Continentals have skirmished with the advancing British and Hessian forces and Munger Shaw now lies within reach of the Kings forces.
The local forces of the British King are predominantly Hessian's and an aging Lt Frank Enfurter has received orders to move on the farmstead to sweep the area of enemy forces. Enfurter is a reliable officer, a veteran of the conflict in the America's, but finds himself increasingly concerned at the way in which this most recent campaign has been conducted. Whilst he has largely kept control of his men, many of the attached British troops, particularly those of the Light Dragoons have conducted a new style of warfare where terror tactics have been used against the local populace.
Enfurter fears for the small community of Munger Shaw as his small force has been joined by a most vile British Dragoon Captain whose reputation for savagery precedes him.
Born of illegitimate stock, Captain David Cameron has ties to the nobility. A Rake with a failed moral compass. Cameron browbeats those below him and is not beyond dishing out his own unique style of justice on the civilian populace who he sees as legitimate targets. Cameron is intent to lay waste to Munger Shaw simply because he has taken offence to being in the field for a fortnight without any time to participate in debauchery in the city.
Enfurter has other problems too. Sgt Weiner-Schnitzel, one of his own NCO's, has fallen in alongside Cameron's Troop and is more than happy to share the fruits of any loot and livestock that can be found during today's sweep.
On the outskirts of Munger Shaw a sizeable Continental Force has been gathered to oppose the Hessian advance. All local men, the Continentals will surely put up a stiff resistance and drive the enemy out of the area.
