ProfXHello and welcome to Bayonets & Tomahawks, a game by Marc Rodrigue and published by GMT Games! This tutorial is best viewed on a computer as there is a large game map that requires lots of scrolling. It will take about 45 minutes to complete. Many thanks to Thalack for a great implementation of the game on BGA!2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

ProfXBayonets & Tomahawks is a two-player grand strategic game depicting the French & Indian War, which raged from 1755 to 1760 and in which France’s North American empire was conquered. One player controls the British; the other controls the French and most Indian units.3Wolastokuk

ProfXIndian diplomacy, raids, construction, naval operations, breaching of fortresses are all included to immerse players in every aspect of the eighteenth-century colonial frontier. In this game we'll be playing the French (white units with a blue label) and most of the Indians (white units with a green label)4Wolastokuk

ProfXThroughout the game players will earn points on a single scoring track at the top of the board. If the French score a point, the white "V" token will move to the left. If the British score a point, the token will move to the right.5victory_marker-front

ProfXYou should click on the [red]clipboard icon[/red] to see the Victory Threshold at the end of the year for each side, the bonus points that can be scored, as well as the Reinforcements that will be arriving later on in the game. This game will be played in the year 1755 and the French will win if the scoring marker is on the blue side of the Scoring Track at the end. 6clipboard_button

ProfXEach round, players draw a card depicting actions that can be taken. We'll go over the details later. For now it's enough to know that each symbol in the colored band will allow you to move one stack of units on the map. At the beginning of the game, we get to choose one card and the other will be discarded.7player_hand

ProfXClick on the card on the right side to select it and then click [blue]Confirm[/blue] at the top of the screen.8Card24-front

ProfXFrom now on, each round we will draw one new card for the Indians (green band), and one new card for the French (blue band). We then have to select one of the French cards to play this round. The other one will stay in our hand for the next round.1player_hand

ProfXSome cards have some special text on it that will lead to historical events happening if it is played that round. If the text indicates "AR START" that means that the event will take place before any other action is performed.2Card51-front

ProfXLet's select the card on the left to play this round by clicking on it now. Then click the [blue]Confirm[/blue] button at the top of the screen.3Card24-front

ProfXWe can see the cards in play this round by scrolling under the map. Note that there is a die value at the very bottom of the cards. The player with the highest number gets to choose who goes first in the round. The French go first in case of a tie.1bt_tabbed_column_tab_cards

ProfXThe card we didn't select this round stays in our hand, which can be seen in this little pop-up box. You can click on the big "X" above it to hide it or, if it's already hidden, on the Cards icon to show it.2player_hand

ProfX!!! In this tutorial you may have to scroll often in order to find the area the text is actually pointing to. Oh no, the British played a card that makes us lose one of our square units! We'll have to select one in Quebec and it will go into our [blue]Losses Box[/blue], which is located to the left. Maybe we'll get lucky and get a card to get it back later on.1unit_7-front

ProfXGo ahead and click [blue]Confirm[/blue] to continue.1confirm_btn

ProfXThe first thing we get to do on our turn is play the Indian (green) actions. We can move exactly one Indian unit (a white triangle with a green banner) per triangle on the Indian Card. Click the [green]Green Icon[/green] at the top to choose to perform the action. And then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1customActions

ProfXAll the stacks that are eligible to be selected now appear with a yellow square around them. Click on the map and scroll around to be able to view different parts of it (it's a large map!). You can also click the black icons in the top right of the screen to zoom in and out, or to change display options1unit_41-front

ProfXThe interface skipped a couple of beats here so I selected the unit in Kithanink for you and opted to Raid Carlisle to the right. The number inside the red disks is how many Raid points you get if you raid successfully. Go ahead and click on Carlisle now. Then click on [blue]Confirm[/blue] at the top of the screen to continue.1unit_41-front

ProfXA die was rolled automatically and the Raid succeeded; congrats! That moved us two spots on the Raid Track, which is located in the top left corner of the board. Whenever we reach 8 Raid Points we score 1 Victory Point on the Scoring Track!1french_raid_marker-front

ProfXThe problem with raiding with Indians though is that, if the raid is successful, they get removed from the map and get placed in the Losses Box. If the raid had failed, the Indian unit would have gone back to its original spot and marked with a "Spent" marker so that it couldn't have been used for anything else this round.2unit_41-front

ProfXOK, time to talk about the different types of units available. All Indian units are Light Units, which are represented by triangles, both on the map and on the cards. Some French and British units are also Light Units and are represented by triangles as well.3unit_5-front

ProfXThe square units are Brigades and can only be activated by a square symbol on the cards. The Light Units can be moved both by the triangle and square symbols on the cards, though they can only Raid with a triangle symbol.4unit_7-front

ProfXThen there are several kinds of round units: Artillery, Forts, and Bastions. You cannot do anything with a Bastion, it just helps in defense. Forts can be built; we'll see that later. And Artillery can be moved with a square symbol on a card like Brigades.5unit_10-front

ProfXSo now let's look at the actions we can perform from our card: use one stack of Light Units (the Triangle option on the left) and use either one stack of Light Units or Brigades (the triangle/square option on the right). Let's move our whole stack in Quebec. It contains non-light units so we have to use the triangle/square option on the right. Go ahead and click on it now Then click Confirm.6customActions

ProfXNow select the stack in Quebec by clicking on it. It gives us all the options available to Brigades at the top of the screen. "Marshal Troops" would bring all adjacent troops to that location. We'll use Construction later on. For now, let's move the whole stack South. So go ahead and click on "Movement" and then [blue]Confirm[/blue].1unit_7-front

ProfXClick on Select All at the top of the screen. And then click on the highlighted circle in Les Trois Rivieres where the Indian unit is.1LesTroisRivieres_Mamhlawbagok

ProfXGreat! Now let's pick up that Indian unit by clicking on it (it's highlighted in yellow). And then move the whole stack to Montreal by clicking on the highlighted circle there.1Mamhlawbagok

ProfXAwesome! Now we can pick up those other 3 Light Units highlighted in yellow. Click on "Select all" at the top of the screen to select them. And then click on the next spot South: La Presentation. Usually, non-light units can only move two spots at a time. But because we played a card with Forced March, it's letting us move one more spot. So click on [blue]Move with Forced March[/blue] at the top.1Saranac

ProfXNow click on our triangle action at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1confirm_btn

ProfXBecause it's a triangle action we can only select Light Units this time. Go ahead and click on the Indian Unit in Gennisheyo now. Then click [blue]Movement[/blue] at the top of the screen. And then [blue]Confirm[/blue].1unit_40-front

ProfXJust like we did before, we can move from spot to spot and pick up other units on the way. Light Units can move a total of 3 spots. So we can round up those light units around Lake Ontario and bring them up to Baye de Cataracouy. I'll do that for you to go faster.1Gennisheyo

ProfXThat's the end of the first round! The first 3 rounds are Buildup Rounds and they allow you to set yourself up for what's coming next. The game will end at the end of the 9th round. Click [blue]Confirm[/blue] at the top of the screen to continue.1round_marker-front

ProfXNew cards are drawn at the beginning of each round and we get to pick one of the two French cards again. Click on the one on the left. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue] at the top of the screen.1player_hand

ProfXGreat, that gave us the initiative! That means we can choose who goes first this round. Let's select ourselves, the French, to go first. Go ahead and click on the [blue]blue button[/blue] above now.1select_86860948

ProfXWe always start with the Indian card. We get to move two single Indian Units this time. I'll do that for you to save time since we've already covered those basics.1ap_INDIAN_AP_0

ProfXWhen we're the First Player in a round, we have the option to hold one of the Actions for later, after the other player has played. It's called "holding an Action Point for Reaction". Click on the triangle/square icon on the left now. And then [blue]Confirm[/blue] to keep that action as a Reaction.1customActions

ProfXThat square action we can now play allows us to move Brigades up to 2 spots and Light units up to 3 spots. See the British Fort in Oswego? It's undefended and we have a huge stack of units just two spots away. So I'm going to grab the stack in La Presentation, pick up the 3 units in Baye de Cataracouy, and then click on Oswego to attack the fort!1unit_33-front

ProfXAll of our units were marked as spent because they moved. But that doesn't mean they cannot fight! A battle marker was added in Oswego and it will be resolved at the end of the round. Usually, if a stack is overwhelmed more than 3 to 1 it will just retreat without a fight. But not when a fort is involved!1unit_33-front

ProfXNow that the other player is done it's our turn again to play our Reaction. I'll move those Light Units in Le Detroit at the bottom left of the map to our Fort in Forks of the Ohio.1unit_22-front

ProfXNote that there are different kinds of Connections between locations. Look at the Connections Keys box to the left of the screen. It shows what units and how many of them can travel along specific Connections. 1Kahuahgo

ProfXUp to 16 units of any type may move on Highways; only 4 Light units can travel on Paths; and only 8 units of any kind (but only one piece of artillery) can travel on roads (those can be built on Paths by Brigades). Those numbers apply to each faction. So 4 French Light Units and 4 British Light Units can use the same Path.2Kahuahgo

ProfXBGA keeps track of how many units have used a Connection with numbers on them: blue numbers for the French, and red numbers for the British.3Albany_LakeGeorge

ProfXNow that actions have all been taken, battles are resolved. Since we had a Commander in our stack (a small square token that doesn't count as a regular unit), it automatically gets placed on the Commander Rerolls Track at the top of the board.1commander_rerolls_track_defender_2

ProfXEach Commander token has a number (1-3) and a shape (triangle or square) on it. The number indicates the number of times that a die can be rerolled during the battle. The shape indicates what unit type it applies to: triangle for Light Units and square for Brigades. A Commander token may be removed from play if it misses a reroll and then misses again.2commander_rerolls_track_defender_2

ProfXTo the left is the Battle Track. A token is placed on 0 for each faction. Then it can be moved back if any penalty applies. In our case, we are attacking a fort, which gives us 2 Battle Penalties. But since we have some artillery units involved, the penalty is reduced to 1 instead.3battle_track_defender_plus_1

ProfXDice are rolled automatically. Each unit rolls 1 die. Since we have a commander in play we are given the opportunity to reroll some dice. Scroll below the game board to see a summary of the battle location and the units involved. More importantly, you can see the effect of each die result depending on the unit types involved.4customActions

ProfXTo know what unit is currently rolling, refer to the Battle Summary below the game board. We can see that the 3 dice were rolled for our 3 Non-Indian Light units. When we look up the results in the table below that, we see that the first one is only a hit if an enemy triangle unit is present, the flag advances the Battle Marker on the Battle Track, and the little crescent is a miss.5bt_active_battle_sequence_indian_attacker_rolls

ProfXSo let's reroll the crescent at the top of the screen. Go ahead and click on it now. Then click Reroll to confirm.6die_result_2_btn

ProfXLet's also reroll the die on the left since there is no enemy triangle units involved. Click on it now. Then click Reroll to confirm.1confirm_reroll_btn

ProfXYou can follow the progress of the battle on the Battle Track at the top of the board, in the Battle Summary below the game board, or in the log on the right side of the screen. After we've rolled all our dice, the enemy fort rolls its one die and hits one of our round units (artillery) so it is changed to "Reduced", which means that if it is hit again it will be eliminated.1battle_track_defender_plus_3

ProfXWe won the battle with a score of 3-1 (a tie would have gone to the Defender). Congrats!! Unfortunately, when an Indian unit attacks either a Fort or a Settled Space (more on that later) and achieves victory, one Indian unit token is removed to the Losses Box due to desertion.1battle_track_defender_plus_3

ProfXWhen a Fort is taken over, the Defender is given the choice to either replace that fort with an opponent's Fort, or to eliminate it from the map. Not surprisingly, the British choose to eliminate their fort instead of turning it over to us!1maintitlebar_content

ProfXTaking over Oswego results in a blue Fleur de Lys token being placed there, signifying that we now control that space.1Oswego_markers

ProfXAdditionally, Oswego is also a Victory space, as it has a thick yellow circle around it, like Niagara to the South, so we scored 1 Victory Point by taking control of it. (Niagara is already under French control - blue disc - so we wouldn't get a point from going there.)2Onontake

ProfXNote that colored discs with no yellow circle around them do not give Victory Points. Instead, the number in them indicates the number of Raid points you gain after a successful Raid.3OneidaLake

ProfXAfter a very successful 2nd round for us, Fleets Arrive with Reinforcements! The British get theirs first.4round_marker-front

ProfXAfter the British have placed their new troops, it's our turn to do the same. Scroll beneath the game board to see our Drawn Reinforcements. We got two fleet and two Brigades. As they're arriving by boat, those Brigades will have to be placed wherever a Fleet is placed.1bt_tabbed_column_tab_battle

ProfXUnfortunately, this interface won't allow you to make all the moves yourself so I'll have to do it for you but I'll explain. To place your Fleet you have to click on it in the Drawn Reinforcements section below the game board and then click on a destination on the map. 2bt_tabbed_column_tab_battle

ProfXI'm going to place one Fleet in Chignectou, which is across the bay from Nova Scotia in the North East of the map. We have a fort there and the destination would be highlighted with a yellow circle. If it is obstructed you can click the "eye" icon in the top right of the screen.3unit_1-front

ProfXThen I'm going to place the other Fleet the same way on Quebec. After the Fleets have been placed, we can place the Brigades, one at a time, by selecting them below the game board and clicking on their destination on the map. I'll place both Brigades in Quebec as well.4Namaskonkik

ProfXThe French can only place Reinforcement Fleets in the North, from Quebec to Louisbourg. The British can only place their Fleets on the East Coast, From Newfoundland down to Charles Town.5Mamhlawbagok

ProfXAnd now Round 3 begins! Click the card on the left with the two triangles to select it. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue] at the top of the screen.1Card26-front

ProfXWe gained the initiative again. But let's see what the British do with all their new troops by letting them go first this time. Click on the [red]red[/red] button at the top of the screen to continue.1select_94077125

ProfXCarlisle looks like an easy target if we can get all our Light Units in Forks of the Ohio there without exceeding the maximum limit of units on each path. I'm going to use the two triangles from the Indian card to move 2 Indian Units to Carlisle, and then use one action from the French card to send the rest of the troops there using a different path.1unit_34-front

ProfXLet's use our last action to try and raid Albany toward the center of the map. The thing is, there are enemy units there and one die will be rolled to see if our raiding unit is intercepted, which would put an end to the raid. But it's worth 3 Raid Points if we succeed so it's worth a shot!1unit_28-front

ProfXClick on our last triangle action at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].2confirm_btn

ProfXClick on our stack in Oswego to select it. Then click [blue]Raid[/blue] at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1Oswego_french_control_marker

ProfXClick on the "Beaujeu" French Light Unit (you can zoom in to see the name; it's the triangular unit just above the square unit). Then click on Albany two spots to the right to select it as the destination. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1unit_14-front

ProfXThe raid was not intercepted by the enemy AND succeeded, which gave us 3 Raid Points; amazing! And since we used a French unit instead of an Indian unit to do the raid, it will just return to its spot and not to the Losses Box.1pagemaintitletext

ProfXNow that all the actions have been taken it's time to resolve the battle in Carlisle.2Carlisle_markers

ProfXNote that Carlisle is a Settled Space, which means that Militia is automatically recruited to defend the city when it is attacked. You can recognize Settled Spaces by the printed soldiers on the map next to a town. Two Militia are in Easton, as well as Minisink to the North of Albany. Militia will roll one die against us during the battle, like other units.3britishMilitiaMarker_1-front

ProfXWe won the Battle 3-2 and will now take control of Carlisle but one of our Indian unit deserted because the battle was against a Settled Space. It's also important to note that, if our units leave a Settled Space, control of it will automatically revert back to its original side.1Carlisle_markers

ProfXThe Militia tokens are removed automatically when the battle ends. But since there was a surviving enemy unit it had to retreat to an adjacent space.1unit_34-front

ProfXCarlisle being a Victory Space (it has a thick yellow circle around it), we also earned 2 Victory Points by taking control of it! You can see on the Scoring Track at the top of the map that we now have 4 Victory Points. Well done!2pagemaintitletext

ProfXBut our luck may be about to change because after round 3 the British Enlist Colonial Units. Those will be placed in the red parts of the map except Nova Scotia. Sadly for us, the French don't Enlist Colonials in this scenario.1round_marker-front

ProfXNevertheless, we're entering the last 6 Campaign Rounds so no new reinforcements will arrive. Let's pick the Cherokee Diplomacy card for this round.1Card29-front

ProfXThanks to our Cherokee Diplomacy card, we just earned 2 Raid Points. Just one more and we will get a Victory Point. Then the Raid Scoring Track will reset and we can keep on earning points.1french_raid_marker-front

ProfXThe British just made a big move with their Forced March card and are attacking us in Oswego. This will be a big battle! They're also trying to retake Carlisle in the South.1Oswego_battle_marker

ProfXIt's now our turn to play but I want to draw your attention to the British player's actions. They used both their square action but they kept their triangle action for a Reaction after our turn is over. So let's keep that in mind.2overall_player_board_94077125

ProfXWe now play our Indian Action. See the "2x" inside the triangle at the top of the screen? That means that, instead of the Indian Unit being limited to traveling over 3 connections, it can now travel over 6 of them! That could be handy for a sneaky move ;)3ap_INDIAN_AP_2X_0

ProfXSo go ahead and click the Indian Action at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue]. 4confirm_btn

ProfXNow click on the Indian Unit in Miramichy in the North to select it. Then click on [blue]Raid[/blue] at the top of the screen. And then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1unit_35-front

ProfXThen scroll all the way down to Northfield, in an attempt to score two more Raid Points. Click on the highlighted yellow circle in Northfield now. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1NewLondon

ProfXThe Raid succeeded! So we scored 2 Raid Points. We had 7 Raid Points before so going to 8 gave us one Victory Point. And then the Raid Points got reset to zero and we scored the remaining Raid Point we had gotten from Northfield. Woohoo!! The Indian Unit deserted right after that but it was worth it! :)1victory_marker-front

ProfXOK, so I feel like we need to bring our two Brigades from Quebec South ASAP to help out. And then, what about a Raid on York? I'll do that for you to speed things up a bit.2ap_SAIL_ARMY_AP_1

ProfXOK, our raid failed but no matter. Let's see how we do with our two battles. Note that the British are attempting to retake control of Carlisle. Normally, two Militia tokens are added in that Settled Space. But since we are in control of it right now, one less will be used in the battle.1Philadelphia

ProfXWe tied at 2-2. But since we were the Defender we were given the victory. That was a close one! Let's see what happens in Oswego now.2french_battle_marker-front

ProfXOK, they scored 5 Battle Points in their attack. Now it's our turn to roll the dice. As a reminder, you can see the die results in the table underneath the game board.1battle_track_defender_plus_5

ProfXLet's reroll that 'Tomahawk & Bayonet' die in the middle. Click on it. Then click [blue]Reroll[/blue].2confirm_reroll_btn

ProfXNow all our dice are Flags, which mean that we get to advance the Battle Marker for each one. We really need to catch up to the British so click 'Do not reroll' at the top of the screen.1pass_btn

ProfXI'm sure you're getting the hang of it so I'll take care of the rerolls from now on.1die_result_2_btn

ProfXWell, we lost that battle and had to retreat. The British retook control of Oswego and the Victory Point Marker moved one spot to the right.1unit_10-back

ProfXNow Round 5 begins. Click on the 'Frontiers Ablaze' card in the middle to select it. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].2Card36-front

ProfXThe British are going to keep the pressure on us! I'll handle the actions you're already familiar with to gain some time and I'll stop to explain new elements.1BayeDeCataracouy_markers

ProfXOur Staged Lacrosse Game card comes with a special ability (if you want to see the cards in play you can scroll underneath the game board and click on the 'Cards' tab). Since we're raiding an unsupported enemy fort we have a chance to remove it from play if the raid succeeds. Click on the "[blue]Use Staged Lacrosse Game[/blue]" button at the top of the screen1unit_26-front

ProfXToo bad, we failed and we didn't have any more Indian Units within range to try again with our second Indian action. Oh well, moving on...1unit_26-front

ProfXOK, you may have noticed that some square actions have a little boat anchor. That means that they can be used for a Sail Movement. That allows us to move our Fleets across long distances. We just happen to have a Fleet sitting in Quebec. Let's see if we can make it more useful.1ap_SAIL_ARMY_AP_0

ProfXClick on the square action at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue]. 2confirm_btn

ProfXNow click on our Fleet in Quebec. And then click [blue]Sail Movement[/blue] at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue]. (Note: a Fleet can also move along the Coastline along two connections. We would use the "Movement" button for that. But we want to travel further than that this time so we're using the "Sail Movement").1Namaskonkik_Quebec

ProfXClick on the Fleet again to activate it now. A Fleet can carry up to 4 other units but we don't have any there so it will just travel on its own. Then click [blue]Sail Move[/blue] at the top of the screen.1Mamhlawbagok_Namaskonkik

ProfXOur Fleet moved to the Sail Box, in the top right corner of the game board. And look at that, the British are also sailing with several units on board. I wonder where they will land! We'll find out at the beginning of next round.1Newfoundland

ProfXIf you were following the battle along you noticed that the British eliminated one of our Brigades. Each time an opposing Metropolitan Brigade is eliminated the player draws a War In Europe chit. This could give them 0-2 bonus Victory Point(s), but we won't find out until the end of the game!1pagemaintitletext

ProfXWow, we just survived two tough battles with two ties! If you ever want to review all the battles that happened in the game, click on [red]that icon[/red] to open the Battle Log.1battle_log_button

ProfXFor this new round we got the initiative but we let the British go first so we could see where they would land from the Sail Box. Landing does not cost an action. They landed in Chignectou to attack us. But they will have 1 battle Penalty in that battle, which is represented by that yellow square token on their stack.1unit_1-front

ProfXIt's our turn to land our Fleet from the Sail Box. If you scroll around the map you can see that a lot of spots are highlighted, from Quebec all the way down south to Charles Town, though a section from Boston to Alexandria is not available. 1Chignectou_Halifax

ProfXThe French can land in any of those spots from the very beginning of the game, while the British are limited to landing on the East Coast only. Anything on the North Coast, starting in Louisbourg and going West is not available to British Fleets. However, if the British were to take control of Louisbourg, that would open ALL those landing zones to them. Something to keep in mind!2AnnapolisRoyal_Halifax

ProfXLet's land in Chignectou to help out with the battle there. Click on the highlighted yellow circle on Chignectou now. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue] at the top of the screen.3AnnapolisRoyal_Halifax

ProfXThe British have started rebuilding their Fort in Oswego. I don't think we're strong enough to attack them before they finish (it generally takes two rounds). So let's do the same thing in Baye de Cataracouy. Only Brigades have the ability to build and we only have the one left!1Oswego_fortConstructionMarker

ProfXClick on the square action in the middle at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].2confirm_btn

ProfXNow click on our stack in Baye de Cataracouy to activate it. Then click [blue]Construction[/blue] at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1unit_28-front

ProfXClick on the square Brigade token in Baye de Cataracouy to select it. Then click "Place" at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1BayeDeCataracouy_Oswego

ProfXA Construction token is placed. Next round we'll have to use another square action with our Brigade to finish the Fort.1BayeDeCataracouy_fortConstructionMarker

ProfXWe have a battle in Chignectou now and we have a battle penalty because we just landed there. However, our card also has Wilderness Ambush, which allows us to advance our Battle Marker based on the number of Light Units we have in play. This option only works on Wilderness Spaces (the towns with small white disks) and Outposts (the towns with small colored disks worth 1 Raid Point).1Chignectou_Halifax

ProfXChignectou is an Outpost so we can use Wilderness Ambush and move the Battle Marker by 2 positions! Click on [blue]Use Wilderness Ambush[/blue] at the top of the screen now.2Chignectou_Halifax

ProfXThat was an easy win! In fact, it was so easy that the British stack now has a Rout marker on it. A stack becomes Routed if it loses the battle by 3 or more points on the Battle Track (and we won 3-0). A Rout Marker provides a Battle Penalty of 1. At the end of the round, a routed stack will roll a die to see if it rallies (in which case the marker is removed).1Chignectou_Halifax

ProfXBut in this case, the British stack retreats to a spot with non-routed friendly units, which also removes the rout marker immediately.1CapeSable_Halifax

ProfXRound 7 of 9 just started, we're almost there! I know there are a lot of moving parts to this game but it becomes very intuitive once you become familiar with how it works. Let's take the Reluctant Wagoneers card in the middle. It's a good one that takes away some of our opponent's actions.1Card30-front

ProfXThe British also got a good card. It allowed them to take one unit from their Losses Box and to place it back on the map!1gameaction_status

ProfXI chose to go first this round because I wanted to make sure we could finish our fort before we were attacked. I'm going to hold the triangle action for Reaction but let's use the square action now to complete the construction of the fort.1BayeDeCataracouy_Oswego

ProfXClick on the square action at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1confirm_btn

ProfXClick on our stack on Baye de Caratacouy to activate it now. Then click [blue]Construction[/blue] at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1Oswego_fortConstructionMarker

ProfXNow click on the square Brigage token. Then click "Replace with Fort" at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1Oswego_fortConstructionMarker

ProfXOoooh, another fortuitous draw for us! With Iroquois Diplomacy the Iroquois Nation will join our side if we have at least 4 Victory Points. We do! Click on that card now. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1Card38-front

ProfXNote that until now the Iroquois Confederacy was neutral. If anyone had taken the black Paths through the green area, a battle would have immediately been triggered with the Iroquois and they would have sided with the opponent for the rest of the game.1iroquoisControl_markers

ProfXThe same thing goes for the Cherokee in the South East of the map!2Keowee

ProfXNow you can see that there is our blue Fleur de Lys token in the Iroquois Confederacy and 3 Iroquois Units appeared in their villages. We can now control those units like any other Indian Unit. I think they will be very useful!1Albany_Kingston

ProfXIt's the 8th round so the British are going all in, attacking us in 3 locations with all they've got! I'll move our available units around to provide as much support as we can get.1unit_69-front

ProfXOh, but I see a sneaky move to make with our new Iroquois friend. See [red]Lake George[/red] there? All alone, undefended, and worth 1 Victory point! I'll let you take that one.1Albany_LakeGeorge

ProfXClick on our square action at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].2confirm_btn

ProfXClick the Iroquois Unit in Onontake. Then click [blue]Movement[/blue] at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1Oquaga

ProfXClick that same unit again. Then click the highlighted yellow circle in Oquaga to the right. Then click the highlighted yellow circle in Oneida lake to the North. Then click the highligthed yellow circle in Lake George.1Oquaga

ProfXNicely done! That was an easy point to take!1pagemaintitletext

ProfXNow let's see what happens with all those battles before we move to the final round!1pagemaintitletext

ProfXYikes! We won the first two small battles easily but we actually were routed in Baye de Cataracouy :( That means we have to eliminate one of our units and then retreat.1BayeDeCataracouy_battle_marker

ProfXLet's retreat North so that we can prevent the British from reaching Montreal. Click on the yellow highlighted circle in La Presentation now. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1Nihanawate

ProfXNormally, when we retreat from a fort we're given the option to either Eliminate or Replace it with an enemy fort. It usually makes sense to just eliminate the fort but in case of a rout we're not given the option and the fort automatically becomes an enemy fort! :( :( :(1Kahuahgo_Oswego

ProfXThis is the final round! We're leading by 4 Victory Points so I think that, as long as we block the way to Montreal, we should be ok. So I'll just show you a couple more things before we wrap this up! Click on the Coup de Main card in the middle now. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1Card37-front

ProfXYikes! Smallpox is no joke! We'll lost two of our Indian Units but we should still be ok.1pagemaintitletext

ProfXAnd now we're losing another one because of Pennsylvania's Peace Promises!1gameaction_status

ProfXSince there's not much left for us to do, let me show you how to turn a Path into a Road. Only a square Brigade can do this. So click on our square action at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1confirm_btn

ProfXClick our stack in La Presentation now. Then click [blue]Construction[/blue] at the top of the screen. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1Kahuahgo_Nihanawate

ProfXThen click the square unit in La Presentation again. Then select the *lower* path to *Kahuahgo* highlighted with a yellow square. Then click [blue]Confirm[/blue].1Kahuahgo_Oswego

ProfXJust like for Forts, it usually takes two rounds to complete a Road. One important thing to note is that, when the Road is completed, the Brigade then MUST travel on that Road immediately, accompanied by other units if desired. This movement does not use any other action.1Kahnistioh_LaPresentation_road

ProfXWith his 2x square with a boat anchor action the British were able to make a Sail Movement and land in the same round! They landed in York, which I had just taken with our Light Indian Unit. We're going to lose that one because we're outnumbered more than 3 to 1 and have to retreat. But of well, it was worth a shot! ;)1player_board_94077125

ProfXThis is the end of the game! The British score their 2-point Year End Bonus because they control at least 2 French Victory Spaces.1pagemaintitletext

ProfXBut we also score our 2-point Year End Bonus because we control at least 1 British Settled Space! Remember you can see the Year End Bonuses from the [red]clipboard icon[/red] in the top right corner of the screen.2pagemaintitletext

ProfXAnd because the British had eliminated one of our Metropolitan Brigades, they now reveal a War in Europe chit worth 1 Victory Point.3pagemaintitletext

ProfXSo our final score is 2 and we win the game. Congrats! I know this was a long tutorial but I hope it gave you a good understanding of the game. It's really quite intuitive to play once you get the hang of it. Please contact me if you have any feeback and please rate this tutorial so that other people can learn this great game. Thank you!4victory_marker-front
