Little Bighorn: Slug Fest or Victims of Randomness?

The system’s randomness has created some interesting situations,  with plenty of give-and-take.  It really is fun, with the “Hostiles” bouncing all over the map.

In Turn 4, Sitting Bull’s weak contingent attacks Terry/Gibbon’s combined arms force despite overwhelming odds.

During Turn 5, Terry/Gibbon maintains contact with Sitting Bull, while Custer envelops Little Bear’s force.  Sitting Bull’s force is  destroyed, and Little Bear takes casualties.

Later in the turn, Custer is attacked by Sioux drawn like moths to the flame of randomness.  One of Custer’s battalions is destroyed.

At this point, who knows what the hell will happen.  At the end of Turn 5, Army has 9 VPs, Hostiles 3.
