Now that’s an old one……never enjoyed it much to be honest.  I finally sold my copy during the covid lockdown  :o. It had been in various lofts for a good fifty five years…..sold my original copy of Escape from Colditz at the same time.  I had a good collection of board games as a kid.  Pointless really, I was an only child  :D

Custer's Last Stand, but not as you know it.
When I got this game, Crimbo '64, it took me and our kid till Easter to master the rools!

:?

We used to play this game as kids in the seventies. The figures were better painted as I recall so maybe it was a later version.

On a semi-related note, my wife and I are taking a vacation out to the Dakotas next week.  A stop at Fort Abraham Lincoln (from where Lt. Col. Custer and the 7th Cavalry departed on their way to infamy...) is on the agenda.

Cool.  Ours a BIG country, though.  You'll want to do some careful planning, but there are military history sites (battlefields, forts, museums, etc.) all over the place...

Himself will take a very dim view of that dreadful slander. Sleep with one eye open. One dawn you'll wake up to a bronzed, and warpainted savage, who's called for breakfast!

Nice to see a referral to campaign.  That was another one I sold in Lockdown…….anyone come across Tri Tactics?  That was  good fun as well.

Just spent a very pleasant couple of hours with our very own Akula.
Good man, arrived in our pokey little seaside resort, as proud as a warhorse. Two hours later, after breaking down halfway through Taps...
he went away, like a broken down Troop horse, hardly able to drag a Gatling gun.
The reason for these devastating events at the seaside will be revealed, after I've finished having me a celebrate!
