Yorktown Penisula- British Fail

    Imagine your name is General Cornwallis and you set up a base at Yorktown, a peninsula on Chesapeake Bay, so you and your army can receive supplies by ships.

You are foolish enough to also make the perfect opportunity for Washington and his men to attack.

On August 1781, a large French fleet arrives from the West Indies and blocks Chesapeake Bay. The ships blocked the British ships and trapped you on the peninsula. Then American and French troops stormed Yorktown, turning it into rubbel. With no way out you surrendered your force of 8,000. You lose. Can you say, " EPIC FAIL!"
