Although they ahve faced off before, this time something is different: large scale European-style warfare transforms this theater of war. But the wilderness expanse as well as the involvement of many indigenous nations hampers Old World tactics. Will you be ambushed in the woods like British general Braddock in 1755? Will you charge desperately against disciplined volleys like French general Montcalm in 1759? Or will you perpetuate the glory of your king in the New World?

In Bayonets & Tomahawks, take command of either the French or British to fight all faces of the French and Indian War: army maneuvering, diplomacy with indigenous nations, raids, battles, construction, naval operations, sieges, and more.
