Von Lossberg was born in Sulbed, Rinteln, County of Schaumburg on 20 April 1720 and married Dorothea Elisabeth Gmeling (1725-1821). 6 Correspondence with George Washington On Relief for Prisoners of War.5 Commander of the Hessian Forces in North America.General Washington and his guard (Philadelphia Light Horse) supervise the deployment of troops in this sector of the battlefield. Stephens and Fermoy's brigade provide infantry support for the battery. A second section of the battery is limbered and moving off to the left to deploy in front of Queen Street. The Rall Grenadier regiment (center) advances towards the American position along the Pennington Road.Īlexander Hamilton's New York battery deploys on a slight rise facing down King Street. Two more companies hive off to block the entry of Mercer's brigade into the town. Three companies and the regimental 3-pdr face down the advance of Sterling's brigade up King Street. Von Lossberg is activated on King Street. Sargent and Glover cross Assunpink Creek to cut off any Hessian retreat. To the west of town, Sullivan sends Sargent's and Glover's brigades across Assunpink Creek in order to cut off any Hessian retreat to the south along the Bordentown Road. Sterling's brigade advances down King Street to take on the 3 companies of von Lossberg and its regimental 3-pounder. Fermoy's brigade continues its march east on the Pennington Road, heading for Princeton, so as to cut off any Hessian retreat in that sector.
On the eastern side of town, Hamilton is deploying his 6-pounders - one on each of King and Queen streets so that they can rake both streets with cannister. Clair are advancing into the town on the River Road, where they get into a firefight with the two companies of von Lossberg who are blocking the road. The Hessians win the initiative on Turn 3, so Colonel Rall orders his grenadiers to attack the American infantry and artillery at the head of King Steet and Queen Street. The Rall grenadier regiment was already on duty that morning, so they easily form up and are ready for action on Turnn 2.
Only the game judge is privy to this intelligence.Ī pair of British 16th Light Dragoons gallop off to Bordentown to get help from Colonel von Donop. Neither side knows if or when von Donop will arrive. The Hessian player rolled a "6" so it would take until Turn 9 for von Donop to arrive. I use the number of pips on a thrown D6 and add "3". We roll another D6 to determine how many turns it will take for von Donop's reinforcements to arrive. The Hessians roll a "1", so off go the dragoons, as seen below. A roll of "3" or less is required to send the orders. Once firing is heard, the Hessians have one chance to wake up Colonel Rall and have him order the dragoons to ride south on the Bordentown Road to secure help from Colonel von Donop's command.
