Tournament Scenario (1757-59) +

+The British called 1759 the “Year of Miracles” (in Latin, Annus Mirabilis) +because the victory bells in London that year seemed never to cease ringing. +The British in 1759 captured French forts Carillon, St-Frédéric, and Niagara. +In Germany, they and their Hanoverian allies defeated a French army at the +Battle of Minden. Most importantly, General Wolfe took Québec while Admiral +Hawke broke the French fleet at Quiberon Bay—these last events all but sealing +the fate of Canada. + +

+This scenario focuses in on the period of transition (historically) from French +to British ascendancy. It begins at the British low-point in the war, 1757, and +continues through the end of 1759, when (historically) British victory was all +but ensured.

+This scenario involves just six hands of cards and can be completed in two to +three hours. + + +

+NOTE: +For balance this scenario has been modified to start VP at French 2. + + +

+ +
+

Intermediate Scenario One (1755-59) +

+This scenario uses the same victory conditions as Annus Mirabilis but begins +with the landing at Alexandria of two British regiments from Ireland and the +arrival of six French army battalions at Louisbourg and Québec. These regular +reinforcements signalled the onset in 1755 of direct conflict in America +between British and French crown. +

+The formal, European war has not yet begun and fewer forces are available than +in the 1757 scenarios. Montcalm has yet to arrive, for example, and +Pennsylvania and Virginia have not yet constructed their border defenses. +

+It should take (at most) five hours to complete. +

+ +
+

Intermediate Scenario Two (1757-62) +

+This scenario begins with the North American conflict in full gear (as in Annus +Mirabilis), but allows play to extend beyond the date of Canada’s historical +surrender (late 1760). The presumption is that—without Britain’s spectacular +victories in 1759 and 1760— fighting could have continued until a European +peace came within sight in late 1762. +

+This scenario could take as long as five hours to complete if it goes all the +way to 1762. +

+ +
+

Extended Scenario (1755-62) +

+This scenario covers the full period of general conflict in North America. +

+If it goes the full distance, it may take as long as eight hours. +
