From publisher web site: Quelques Arpents de Neige is a two-player game with each player taking the side of either the French Empire or the British Empire. Both players have native allies to control and the French player can also control what's left of the Spanish Empire in North America. The game is regimental-scale (approximately 500-1000 men) with the two maps having a scale of 33km and 66km per hex respectively. The combat system uses a combat results table (CRT) and the monthly game turn has several phases. These include the Start Phase, Naval Phase, Supply Phase, Combat Phase, Movement Phase, and End Phase. The game system focuses on having a common sense and simple approach so that the turn can flow easily. Nominee for the 2006 Charles S. Roberts awards for Best DTP-Produced Boardgame (Charles S. Roberts Awards).
