Description

This game covers the Seven Years' War in North America, beginning in 1755 and ending in 1760.

It has a mounted map reaching from Detroit in the west to Cape Breton Island in the east. The main terrain features on the map are wilderness, lakes, and rivers; water movement is very important in the game given the lack of roads. There are 132 counters in six colors, representing regiments, brigades, and fleets.

Turns are bi-monthly. At the end of winter turns most units must be in towns or forts or be destroyed, so offensive actions must be carefully planned. Victory is based on the ownership of key cities and forts in New France.
