Regiments. About 80 men (1 stand of 4 figures) were detached to the Light Infantry Battalion, probably most of
Wallace's company and some of Connelly's company. Buford was so ineffective that he was sent to Salisbury to

militia are present for only that turn and then go home, however they can be called out every turn that Marion's
brigade is attacking or attacked. Modify roll by -1 if the militia are routed or eliminated in a past battle (-1 for each
time).

23
The 1st Spartan, 2nd Spartan, and Hayes' regiments were really part of Sumter's command, but were detached to
Pickens' command. Pickens' actual command was only McCall's Dragoons and Cunningham's riflemen (160 men).
Pickens probably had no more than 400-500 men in the three regiments from Sumter's command plus 200-250
riflemen in McDowell's and Cunningham's units. Babbits' claim of a larger militia force doesn't mesh with the other
primary sources.
24
Was promoted to brigadier general on January 25, 1781.
25
Commanded by Colonel John Thomas Jr., and composed of Thomas' 1st Battalion and Roebuck's 2nd Battalion
26
Commanded by Colonel Thomas Brandon and composed of Brandon's 2nd Spartan (Fair Forest) SC Militia (100)
and Haye's Little River, SC Militia (150).
27
Composed of Jolly's Georgia Dragoons (20), McCall's South Carolina Dragoons (25); and Clark's North Carolina
State Dragoons (15-25) which was from Davidson's force. all were militia units armed with swords.
28
Composed of Cunningham's Georgia riflemen (55) and Hammond's South Carolina State Company(armed with
rifles) (60). Commanded by Major John Cunningham.
29
Called "1st Virginia Regiment" in an April 26, 1781 return. Uniform included: a jacket with sleeves, one shirt, a
pair of linen overalls, a knapsack, nlanket, and a pair shoes each. Uniforms might be a plain blue jacked (?), possibly
a short blue plain jacket.
30
This is probably the Brown faced red reinforcements that are often mistaken as a new 2nd Maryland Regiment. A
company of replacements for the Maryland line under Captain William Beatty arrived in Greene's camp December
7, 1780. Beatty had 75 replacements (rank and file) and the Maryland State Regiment had another 160 (rank and
file). A large number of the Maryland State Regiment seem to have not made it to the Carolinas due to desertion and
illness. This regiment DID NOT become the 2nd Maryland Regiment. The state records show that the regiment was
drafted into the existing two battalions of the Maryland Continentals.

The Prince of Wales suffered heavy casualties at the Battle of Hanging Rock, which is why the line company
strength is so low. The regiment was used piece mail, often attached to other corps.. It's actual commander, LTC
Thomas Pattisson, was found drunk on duty and placed under arrest. He was at Charleston until June 1781 when he
was sent to New York and put on half pay status.

NOTES:
1. Charlotte, NC stripped of provisions (no foraging supplies)
2. Daniel Morgan illness? Left Feb. 10, 1781 (2 Feb)
Starting in February 1781, roll 1d6 each turn to determine Morgan's health
1-5 = Morgan continues on
6 = Morgan's health fails, remove him from play
(add +1 to roll if Morgan has been in at least one battle)
3. Movement rates per week:
Supply trains = 2 (no forced march)
Infantry or artillery = 2 (force march = 3)
Cavalry or Legion or Mounted = 3 (force march = 4)
solitary commander = 4
4. Special rule for Marion in swamps = invisible to British player
5. Exhaustion due to straggling = @10%
6. Many Continental prisoners from 1780 held in Charlestown, maybe rescued they
could become a unit?
130 North Carolina Militia
@2000 Continentals from Lincoln's defeat
@500 from Camden defeat
