    Description

    A Wretched and Costly Fight is an introductory level wargame on the battle for Fort Erie. It is part of the Battles for Canada Series of games that portray famous battles fought for in Canada during the War of 1812.

    Each hex is approximately 50 yards across, a regular or militia infantry unit is 250-350 men, First Nation and Dragoon units are 80 to 100 men, and artillery units represent 2 or 3 guns. A turn represents one hour of time.

    Players use a standard deck of playing cards (a custom series card set is available from the publisher) to activate their units. A six-sided die is used to resolve combats (assault and fire) as well as other game events.
