The demo for Empire: Total War has the Battle of Brandywine Creek as one of its two scenarioshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Lagos. Whilst playing through Brandywine I managed to pin the American cannons at the banks of the creek. Then, at that point, Washington himself charged my frontline. He was torn to shreds by musket fire. That got me wondering.
What would the effects of the death of George Washington be? I would say that despite his death the Revolutionaries would still win the War of Independence, but how would that victory come?
