Blood on the Ohio: Washington's Indian War 1789-1794

This historical wargame covers the Northwest Indian War, as Native American nations led by Little Turtle contest control of the Ohio territory with the newly formed American Army. Players direct forces from villages and forts across a point-to-point map, using simultaneous three-dice battles, variable reinforcements, alliances, treaties, and special action points. American militia are unreliable, while Native American raids disrupt settlements. Every two turns, a quartering phase resets the board; destroyed villages relocate, and new forts and settlements can be built. Four scenarios cover the three American expeditions, along with a campaign combining the conflict.
