On October 4, 1777 the Continental Army attacks the main British Army at Germantown, several days after the British occupied Philadelphia.
General Washington attempts a complex four pronged assault on the British camp. The attack falls part as units get lost in the heavy fog and the attackers turn their focus on taking a stone house on the edge of the battlefield.
This gives British forces time to rally and chase the Americans from the field.
