America won it's independance in the battle of Yorktown in 1781. The British General Lord Cornwallis moved into the yorktown peninsula to await reinforcements. Unfortunatly for him a French fleet arrived and kept the reinforcments from ariving and harassed the Generals ground forces. who were blocked from retreat by the Americans and French infantry. Now it's your turn to take command!
