Notes on the creation of an ADC module for Oldenberg Grenadiers The Battles of Trenton and Princeton

First, some credits:

The game was produced in 1976 as one of four games.  More games were in the works but were never produced.  I've previous converted the Brandywine game.  I'm working on Saratoga next.  I don't know who credited the games (no credits are given in the game).
As for the ADC module, the terrain for this game was started with Phil Weltsch's version of SPI's Monmouth.
The game pieces I created and were the same as those used in Brandywine.

Notable things:

First, I tried to replicate the game.  Errors in the game could be mine (in transcription) or in the original game.

The problem is always how much to stay true to the original design and how much should one sacrifice that to make it easier to play or easier to create the module.  If I can, I try to stick close to the original design. 

Counters: I tried to remain faithful to the original design with several notable departures.  I added color to the counters to make it easier to tell which side (American or British) the unit belongs. I also exchanged the side of the unit (left or right) where the flag is to, again, help tell which unit it is.  I added a star to the symbol for leaders. 
 
The Board:
   The forest is textured instead of solid dark green.  The road uses the ADC hexline so the road is a bit jagged.

Rules:
   They were scanned in, then processed by OCR software.  I've tried to locate any mistakes.  Word also pointed out some spelling and grammer errors which were fixed.


Things to come:
I've got the other two Oldenberg Grenadiers games, and I'll put those into ADC modules too.
Then I've got some other American Revolution games to do, including  Mayfair's Morgan's Rifles.  Then there are a couple of more complicated projects: Rand's Saratoga, International Teams's Yorktown (with one of the most beautiful game maps made), and SPI's old American Revolution.

There are several AR games I don't have: Panzerfaust's Spirit of '76, SDC's Minuteman (in Conflict magazine), Jagdpanther's Battle of Cowpens (Magazine April 1973) and Game Theory and Design's War of Rebellion. I'd love to get copies of any of these.
