Description

Ever since that fateful day when George Armstrong Custer’s battalion of the Seventh Cavalry met its fate on the Little Bighorn River, men made careers by selling their stories claiming to be the sole survivor.
By the 1950s the last of these men, as well as the Sioux and Cheyenne participants, were in their twilight years.
They all vied for a chance to tell the tallest tale and have their story become a bestselling book which would dominate the United States understanding of the battle.
Was Custer a barbarian -or- a hero of Manifest Destiny?

You must weave your own exciting story of the battle and seek fame and fortune by fighting your way through the most dramatic moments of the Battle of the Little Bighorn!

This mini-campaign is structured in quick “acts” that could be played in a single evening.
Both sides face decisions that allow for a great deal of replay value and let the players write their own story of the Battle of the Little Bighorn….

Players choose their own adventure with one side picking the scenario and the other choosing the set up.
There are a possible 27 different battles that can be played.
The mini-campaign will consist of three of these gunfights.

RUTHLESS, a complete set of western gunfight rules, is also included!
This booklet has everything you need to play!
