Summary

In June of 1783, British forces (not yet aware of the preliminary peace treaty that had been concluded in late 1782) attacked the Indian town of Cuddalore. The British besiege the city while a French fleet challenges a larger British fleet from control of the waters off the city. The British Commander, General James Stuart, finds himself fighting not only the French and Mysore, but also finds himself at odds with the British Governor who controlled the region for the East India Company.
