The Battle of White Plains takes a detailed look at one of the lesser-known yet significant engagements of the American Revolution. As part of GMT’s acclaimed Battles of the American Revolution series, this volume explores the closing stages of the New York Campaign in 1776, placing players in command of large and closely matched armies.
While often overshadowed by other battles, White Plains presents a fascinating operational situation where both sides manoeuvre for advantage, with the key clash centred around Chatterton Hill. Players will command either General Washington’s American forces or General Howe’s British and Hessian troops, each seeking to outmanoeuvre the other across challenging terrain and changing conditions.

Emphasis on command decisions, positioning, and terrain
Special rules covering weather, morale, militia performance, and fieldworks
Detailed historical research reflected in map and unit deployment
Set during October 1776, the game recreates a tense campaign where both armies manoeuvre across a relatively narrow front, searching for an opportunity to strike. The action ranges from the intense fighting at Chatterton Hill to a broader four-day campaign where strategy and timing are crucial.
Players must manage large forces, deal with unpredictable weather, and make effective use of terrain and defensive positions. The system highlights command challenges, including troop quality differences, fatigue, and the need to adapt to evolving battlefield conditions.
With multiple scenarios and a strong historical foundation, The Battle of White Plains offers both focused engagements and a deeper operational experience within the American Revolution setting.
