Battles of the Northwest Rebellion covers 5 separate battles at a grand tactical scale, each with its own map and counters. Units represent companies (or their equivalent) per unit and 10 men per strength point. Each hex represents approximately 100 yds. 

 

Fish Creek - April 24, 1885 - One month after the beginning of the Rebellion in the Northwest, General Fredrick Middleton leads a force of almost 900 men up the Saskatchewan River en route to Batoche, the rebel capital. Along the way, he splits his force, fearing that the Metis will not wish to fight. Gabriel Dumont and 150 Metis, Sioux, and Cree fighters set an ambush for Middleton's troops at Fish Creek. 

Cut Knife Hill - May 2, 1885 - After relieving the besieged town of Battleford, Col. William Otter's column of troops was disgruntled that they had not seen any action, unlike their fellows who had fought at Fish Creek. Otter came up with a scheme to "reconnaissance in force" against Poundmaker's Cree village. He would receive a "hot" reception.

Three of the smaller battles fought during the Rebellion are presented in this package:

Duck Lake - March 26, 1885 - which started it all.

Frenchman's Butte - May 28, 1885 - where Wandering Spirit's careful deployment allowed the Cree to escape the pursuing Government forces.

Loon Lake - June 3, 1885 -  the last battle of the Rebellion.
