[9.0] Chippewa

[9.1] Set Up

All US units begin set up on the board as indicated on the right side of each of those counters. There are no US reinforcements in this game. The five Anglo-Canadian units with set up coordinates printed on their right sides begin play in those exact hexes. The five Anglo-Canadian units with the designation "C1" printed on their right sides enter play as reinforcements via hex C1601 during that side's player turn of Game Turn 1.

[9.2] Special Rules

No US units may use the road-rate movement bonus during Game Turn 1; they simply treat road hexes as clear terrain during that turn. (US units may use the bridge spanning 2007/2108 normally during all game turns.)

From the start of the game, all two-step Anglo-Canadian units that have their full-step-strength combat factors circled on their counters receive a special "bayonet charge" two-column rightward odds shift whenever they attack. That shift is lost, on an individual unit-by-unit basis, when each is reduced to one-step strength. If more than one bayonet charging unit is involved in a given attack, the bonus odds shift remains only 2R for that battle. Each A/C attack with one or more bayonet charging units in it receives the bonus.

[9.3] Victory Conditions

At the end of Game Turn 5, both players total the number of enemy combat factors they eliminated during the course of the match. The player with the higher total wins the game. If both players have the same total, the Anglo-Canadian player is declared the winner.

In the case of enemy two-step units reduced but still in play on the map, each player should score for the number of points difference between each such unit's full and reduced strengths. For example, if the Anglo-Canadian "1F" infantry unit, with a two-step strength of eight, was reduced but still in play at the end of Game Turn 7, the US player would score four points for having reduced that unit to its one-step strength of four (8-4=4).
