Bayonets & Tomahawks

I have Wilderness Empires a Block Game that covers the same war
but it was cumbersome as the point to point map board spaces were
too small for all the Blocks to fit ( you could stack 12+ Blocks) &
the OoB's were somewhat lacking.It did a good job of handling
18th Century warfare in set battles but lacked ebb/flow of Raids that
were a big part of the conflict in N.America .

Bayonets & Tomahawks corrects the above (at the cost of more involved
rules).The Forces OoB's are spot on & includes forces that were not
actually used in N.America but were available but also allows you to use
only the historical units.

PS-This Game is terrific !!!. I been playing the full Campaign from 1755-1759 (just started 1758) 1 Turn per day.
The Map & Counters are really nice & it's mechanics truly captures the period warfare.If anyone is interested
in the period it's a must have Game.

In my"Mountain of Shame " I have enough 6mm figure strands to
paint up all the Regiments/Artillery/Colonial /Indian Units. They could
be set up when battles /raids occur without changing the rules ,it would
lengthen the game but would look cool .

PSS-After playing this Game for 3 weeks (I play 1 turn a day)the Brits won
at the end of 1758-a year ahead of their actual victory. Again a Great Game!
