1 Brandywine, Pennsylvania September 11, 1777 Volley and Bayonet Regiment Scale Revised July 19, 2014 The Battle of Brandywine was one of the largest battles of the American Revolution. The British under General Howe attacked George Washington's Army as they attempted to defend the various crossing sites over the Brandywine River. Howe made use of a flanking march by Cornwallis' division and defeated the Americans. On September 26, 1777, the British occupied the provisional American capital of Philadelphia.

Artillery: By using primary documents to construct this order of battle, I was able to find actual British artillery strengths and for the Americans I was able to find that they had about guns at the battle. That was based on the Americans having 39 guns (2 x 12-pdr, 26 x 6-pdr, 6 x 4-pdr, 4 x 5.5" how and 1 x 8" how) in November 1777 plus the 11 guns (3 x 6-pdr, 4 x 4-pdr, 2 x 3-pdr, 1 x 5.5" how, and 1 x 4-pdr iron) they lost at Brandywine plus 14 guns (New York = 6 x 6-pdr, Massachusetts = 4 x 3-pdr, and Pennsylvania 2 x 6-pdr and 2 x 12-pdr borrowed from some of the states; of these about 12 were with other brigades not at Brandywine (McDougall, Varnum and Huntington). I have estimated the distribution of American guns based on some notes from primary sources and the usual distribution pattern employed by Knox. The Americans issued each of the eleven infantry brigades a company of artillery (about four guns). The British tended to brigade their guns to be able to use them in mass, so I have shown them as separate stands in each wing. The American lighter guns (3-6-pdr) were attached to the brigades so I have shown most of the American artillery as dedicated guns. The siege train the British carried was not manned and should not be part of the battle (much like their pontoon train) but are included for completeness. The American siege artillery train had been moved to Philadelphia (as far as I can tell). 2. American Converged Light Infantry: The American Light Infantry Brigade was formed from a draft of 234 men from each of Greene's, Wayne's and Stephen's divisions (but not apparently Stirling's or Sullivan's divisions). These men were then organized into one battalion of four companies each (one per division). There was also a detachment formed from Nash's Continental Brigade (probably 117 men). These men were simply picked men from each regiment and wore their regimental uniforms, the
7 special light infantry uniforms were not worn at this time. These detachments have been figured into the SPs for the Americans. 3. Lafayette: Major General Marquis de Lafayette was an A to Washington; treat him as a division commander and he may command any unit in the American army. 4. Knox: Brigadier General Knox was the Continental artillery commander; treat him as a unit commander and he may command any artillery unit in the American army. 5. British Brigade Commanders in the Regimental Scale: I have rated the British and Hessian brigade commanders as unit commanders () to represent their greater effectiveness. They should be mounted as separate commanders with a 3" command radius. 6. American Independent Brigade Commanders in the Regimental Scale: I have rated American independent brigade commanders as unit commanders () to represent that these brigades operated as independent forces. They should be mounted as separate commanders with a 3" command radius. 7. Unit Commanders: Unit commanders are a new type of command stand included at the various scales. Unit commanders are mounted separately like other commanders. Unit commanders may not rally troops and have a command radius of only 3 inches for formed troops. 8. British Siege Artillery Park: The British Siege Artillery Park included (in actual number of guns): 10 x 24-pdr, 8 x 12-pdr, 4 x 8 howitzers, 2 x 5.5 howitzers, 4 x 13 mortars, 2 x 10 mortars, 2 x 8 mortars, and 6 x 5.5 mortars.
