Guarding the Land: The Battle for Fort Griswold is a 2-player postcard wargame that covers the British assault on Ft. Griswold on September 6th, 1781 in Connecticut. Benedict Arnold (a Limey who became a Yank and then turned Limey again) was in overall command of British forces and this was his last combat action of the war. He was on the west side of the river busily sacking the town. A British detachment landed on the east side of the river to tackle the American defenders in Ft. Griswold. Historically, the Americans were quickly routed and there were claims of a massacre by the British. Several poems were written later to commemorate the event.
This game requires a deck of regular playing cards and a six-sided die (d6) to play.
