Night Attack Scenario Rules
1. Visibility of 12 Inches if neither unit has shot, 24 inches if unit is shooting.
2. Once shooting starts close range shooting counts as soft cover; If shooting at a new target roll a die, on a roll of a 1 the unit shoots a random friendly legal target instead, if no friendly units could be targeted the unit does not shoot.
3. Once shooting has started, long range shooting counts as being in hard cover; same targeting rules as above but on a roll of a 1 or 2. 
4. The British were ordered not to shoot or make a sound or shoot. Instead they broke morale and started yelling and then shooting. To represent this, the British units take their charge leadership rule as normal, if passed all units charged count as being broken in terms of melee (unless formed) Once one unit is charged all American units count as being unformed (as they wake up and are alerted), each American unit remains unformed until passing a leadership test.
5. If there are unbroken natives on the British side ALL US leadership Tests are at -1.
6.  American forces can't make any actions until the British charge or attempt to charge.
7. Before engaging, the British must take a single leadership test each turn to see if they remain silent. If this test is failed all American units can immediately attempt to form up.

Event Roll
Roll 3D6 Each Turn. For each 6 rolled roll a D6 to see which reinforcements arrive. Take half the indicated unit for each roll, for results with 2 units take the first unit listed. Reroll any results that have already been rolled twice.
On a 6; Reinforcements!

Reinforcement Rules;
1. Reinforcements appear 18 inches from the closest unbroken unit on either side. They cannot move or shoot on the turn they appear.
2. Any unit which is already partly on the table can immediately join that unit if it has not yet engaged.

5 or 6 41st 12, 12, 12, Royal Artillery with 6 Pounder
