I tried British and Indian combo for a change.
We played full scenario and played through to 1779 (5 Winter Quarters cards) with Dads Patriots and French attaining an auto win.
A really powerful card we had not seen before really helped him, Mercy Warren (?) which shifts any one City to Passive Opposition and so targeted New York City yielded a swing of 6 VP as I was at Active Support and took Rebellion to a 12 point difference in Support versus Opposition !
I was never able to get this back and with Patriots having 3 Forts out compared to 3 Indian villages it was curtains for Royalist aspirations............
We had a ding dong battle in Quebec City once French arrived with huge losses on both sides but appearance of General Lauzen (?) to assist French results swung Dads way.
Great game with a lot of Event cards we had not seen before.
Love this game. An under appreciated member of the COIN family.
ReplyDeleteInitially thought the Indians are a strange inclusion but work very well in the historical context.
