      That dude is none other than Nate Greene, the dude who managed to actually get the Continental Army's supply situation sorted out, which stands in the canon of miracles as one of the more major ones. Like, biblical af.pic.twitter.com/m4XOZUppgP

      Natty Greene, he's a Rhode island dude who was a quaker until he started doing the army thing and then wasn't a quaker anymore. Cause of the whole violence thing. Anyways, he turns out to be pretty doggone smart and so now GW tells him to go south and fix things

      Greene gets into SC and is like "ew" but that's just what every New Englander says their first time getting into SC. He's got like barely 2000 troops, which makes Earl Cornwallis, his Brit counterpart, think that he's pretty much caput. But Natty has some tricks up his sleeve

      The first is a really angry gay German dude named von Steuben who takes over management of the department HQ and streamlines the f outta it. Then there's the crazy Polish engineer, Tadeusz Kosciusko, who's half cavalry commander, half theater engineer. Best of all worlds

      Then there's the OG himself, Daniel "you british pricks still owe me a lash, ya lazy sods" Morgan, who basically refuses to ever die and threatens retirement so much that it's just sort of a cute joke now. Morgan's a light infantry genius and crochety af. Greene sets him loose

      While Morgan goes all French and Indian War PTSD on the Brits, Greene takes a good hard look at his new theater of operatikns. And notes that holy shiznit, it's all cut up by rivers. Sure, he's out outnumbered 4-1, but if he can control river crossings, he can even the oddspic.twitter.com/0TPAxMeOec

      So he straight up commandeers, requisitions, impounds, and steals all the boats in the AO. And has some built, too. And gets wagons to haul boats. He goes boat crazy.pic.twitter.com/L2nvt0pvHh

      Coz Greene realizes that if he and Morgan harass Corny, he's gonna have to come out of his base on the coast to do something, in which case they go ape on his flanks. And if Corny tries to ignore them, well, then Greene can just build up his force. Win-win, Natty thinks

      Plus, if Cornwallis comes at him for real, Greene knows he can just cross a river and wave at Cornwallis from the other side, while the Brits have to build boats or bring them with them from the coast, which also takes time. Greene basically hacks the war in the south right offpic.twitter.com/X76PaIbn75

      Cornwallis, meanwhile, is v annoyed with all this nonsense and sends his light force off to deal with Morgan. This force is led by Banastre Tarleton, who is not so vile as he's painted, but let's just pretend he looks like Jason Isaacs. For funsies. Tarleton races after Morganpic.twitter.com/EVr4c7Ypap
