Deeds of Daring: Individual Combat During the French and Indian War (1754 – 1763)

Deeds of Daring: Individual Combat During the French and Indian War (1754–1763) is a fast-paced, tactical miniature wargame focused on small-scale, high-stakes skirmishes during the black powder era, specifically simulating individual-level combat rather than massive army formations.

Core Gameplay & Scale

- Player Command: Each player controls a small retinue of 3 to 4 individual mounted or foot figures.
- Game Size: A standard 6-player game uses only 9 to 12 total figures per side, making it highly accessible and physically manageable.
- Play Time: Battles are quick and decisive, typically concluding within 3 to 4 hours.
- Tone: Described by the publisher as “quick, fun, and bloody,” prioritizing action and historical flavor over overly dense rule systems.
