BAYONETS AND TOMAHAWKS: THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR

War has broken out on the North American continent, pitting the French and British colonial empires against each other. Although they have faced off before, this time something is different: large scale European-style warfare transforms this theater of war. But the wilderness expanse as well as the involvement of many indigenous nations hampers Old World tactics. Will you be ambushed in the woods like British general Braddock in 1775? Will you charge desperately against disciplined volleys like French general Montcalm in 1795? Or will you perpetuate the glory of your king in the New World?
