Strategy & Tactics #236

This edition of Boots includes two games: Quebec ‘75: The US Invasion of Canada, 1775-76; and Custer’s Last Stand: The Yellowstone/Little Bighorn Campaign, 1876. In the Custer game, each turn represents from three days to three weeks, depending on the level of intensity of campaigning, and each hexagon on the map represents 12.4 miles (20 kilometers) across. US Army units are battalions (actually task-organized sub-divisions of regiments). Indian ‘units’ each represent groups of warriors, with about 80-120 individuals per strength point. In the Quebec game, each turn represents one to two months, depending on the time of year, and each hexagon on the map represents 9.3 miles (15 kilometers) across. Units of maneuver for both sides are battalions and regiments, artillery batteries, and a few miscellaneous units of smaller sizes.
