Redcoats

A strategy game for one or two players. The action takes place during the American Revolutionary War with players taking on the role of the British forces or the American rebels.

Units can be deployed around the battlefield to gain tactical superiority, in order to win the battle. Units include Cavalry, Artillery, Riflemen, and Musketeers. Cavalry move the fastest, but carry only sabers and cannot fire. Artillery move slow, fire a great distance, require a turn to limber or unlimber before moving, and must take a turn to reload between firing. Riflemen are more accurate than musketeers, and take a turn to reload between firing. Musketeers have a short effective distance, but reload more quickly than riflemen and can use bayonets for short distance fighting.

The game comes with five pre-set scenarios: Freeman's Farm, Camden, Cowpens, Guilford Courthouse, and Eutaw Springs. An editor function allows players to design their own scenarios and customize the battle to be as tough (or otherwise) as they like. There are 10 levels of computer opponent difficulty.
