Battle For Rhode Island

The Battle for Rhode Island was a missed chance for the American cause. A great storm made the French fleet and land - army withdraw. Without the advantage to attack the British at Newport and force their surrender, General Sullivan had to retreat. British General Pigot chased them, hoping to destroy the retreating American army bit by bit. Instead, he faced tough fights with many American units that were veterans of the Battle of Monmouth. This game has an easy - to - learn curve with accessible rules. Opportunity cards add replay value. It comes with both a mounted and paper map, plus a bonus hypothetical scenario of a combined French - American assault on Newport.

Using this game is a breeze. First, familiarize yourself with the easily accessible rules. They are simple enough for beginners.
