Wilderness War

Hey everyone! Ready to relive the Seven Years' War in North America? Wilderness War throws you right into the shoes of a French or British commander between 1755 and 1760, in that fierce struggle for control of the continent. Forget all the complexity of other heavier wargames; here things are more straightforward, but don't be fooled, the complexity still ties your brain in knots, though in a cooler way than a game like Hannibal.

The map is point-to-point, stretching from Northern Virginia to Canada, and you'll have to defend your lands, raid the enemy, build fortifications in the wilderness, recruit Native American allies (the French can have up to 16 different tribes!), besiege forts, and deal with events happening in Europe that are completely out of your control. The strategy cards are the heart of the game, driving campaigns and bringing historical events and personalities into the match. The French start with the advantage, using guerrilla tactics and Native allies to hold the line. The British, with more troops and resources, gain strength as the game progresses, focusing on sieges and decisive battles. It's a race against time and the enemy to see who dominates North America. If you enjoy wargames with a strong historical flavor and mechanics that make you think, Wilderness War is for you!
