@Patriot1959210 Shhh... Spoilers.😜
I have a theory re: Long Island, and I think Howe had his own agenda going on which led to Saratoga's outcome. I'd have to research more deeply on Trenton before opining.

@educator4ever36 Baltimore sets your grade level strictly upon how many credits you've amassed, with caveats for some specific classes (e.g. from 9 to 10 you need five credits, at least one of them in English or Math, etc.). So you can be in a given grade for as long as it takes to move up.
