The Battle of Bunker's Hill: 17th June 1775
A simple wargame using counters or miniatures (not supplied) to simulate the battle of Bunker's Hill. Movement and combat are straightforward, with infantry having a short effective firing range, hitting on a roll of 6 on an ordinary die. In melee a simple comparison of combat value is made, with the weaker unit retreating. Artillery units have a long range but limited mobility as you would expect. The American forces have stronger firepower but are weaker in melee, thus the British need to press their attack strongly.
