About the Game

Campaign Book 5 Yellow Ribbon - Rules for Indian Wars 1850-1890

designed by Greg Novak, publisher Ulster Imports

This 46 page A5 black and white booklet provides a background and rules for Indian Wars of the 1860s. Miniatures are typically 15mm Plain Indian wars range.

Figures represent from 2-5 actual soldiers (with 16 figures representing a troop). Sequence of Play is divided into several phases, including Command (where one of seven orders are issued to army units, and one of six to Indians), Movement, Fire, Morale/Medicine and Close Combat.

Both sides can Hold and Move, but the Army can March, Reform, Charge, Mount/Dismount, and Disengage. The Indians can Close, Skirmish, Withdraw and Watch. And the use of Medicine Points to determine what various bands do is well done.

There is an associated booklet "And Continually Wear The Blue" sub-titled "A Short Guide to the US Army and the Indian Wars 1850-90", about half background on army organization and tactics and about half scenarios.

both "Yellow Ribbon" and "And Continually Wear The Blue" are originally published 1988, revised 1989
