The Saratoga Campaign of 1777: As the American Revolution rages on, General Burgoyne leads a formidable British army southward from Canada, aiming to split the rebellious colonies and crush their resistance. Meanwhile, General Gates is placed in command of the American Northern Army, and is tasked with halting Burgoyne's advance. Amidst the dense forests and rugged terrain of upstate New York, the fate of the Revolution will once again hang in the balance.
