I feel like most rules try to modify Seven Year's War or Napoleonic rules (or in this case, with me, American Civil War rules) rather than acknowledge that it was a bit different, and thus calls for different rules. The Patriots basically tried to "shoot 'em down" while the British relied on trying to skewer the enemy with bayonets. Who ultimately succeeded depended largely upon morale. Where the Patriots were able to control the troops propensity to run (Cowpens, King's Mountain) they decimated the British; where they could not (Camden, Waxhaws Massacre) they were decimated and scattered. The interesting ones where the two were pretty heavily balanced (Guilford Courthouse) are where the British won a victory they could not afford.<br /><br />I have come to realize that the game would be better represented by a process or morale checks, approaching fire, and close assault. Somewhat akin to Flames of War (2nd Edition) assault rules.
