Brandywine, 1777: A Time for Heroes
The British advance on Philadelphia while Washington positions his army along the Brandywine River. Players command British or American Formations, choosing when to move, fight, build redoubts, or hold position. Formation activations reduce Cohesion and generate Momentum Cubes, which purchase Tactical Cards representing changing battlefield conditions. Victory comes from destroying enemy Formations or occupying strategic locations.
