Captain Beatty brought with him 75 men (rank and file or @85 total) from the Maryland Extra or Extraordinary Regiment who were divided up between the four line companies. Beatty's men wore Brown faced red coats, but the rest of the battalion/regiment wore blue faced red coats.6Until March 10 was the 2nd Maryland Battalion commanded by LTC Ford; after March10 it was called the 2nd Maryland Regiment.

When the regiment joined the Maryland Brigade, the men were distributed between the 1st and 2nd Maryland Regiments, the Maryland Regiment Extraordinary did not become the 2nd Maryland Regiment as some sources incorrectly argue. 19 Composed of Bladen County, North Carolina Militia (200) and detachments of the Wilmington, North Carolina District Militia (100).20 Commanded by Colonel Peter Horry.21 commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Hugh Horry.22 Marion can call out local militia in South Carolina and within 2 areas of Georgetown if attacked or attacking.

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 Battalion26 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

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 on6 = 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 player5. Exhaustion due to straggling = @10%6. Many Continental prisoners from 1780 held in Charlestown, maybe rescued they could become a unit?
