Description provided by KilroyWasHere on YouTube:
The Siege of Louisbourg in 1758 was one of the most important contests of the French and Indian War. Louisbourg protected the Saint Lawrence River gateway into New France. Greatly outmanned and outgunned Louisbourg eventually fell to the British but the French fortress held out long enough to prevent a British campaign in 1758 against Quebec and the interior of New France.
Louisbourg 1758 is a two player game on the campaign to take the fortress. One side commands the British while the other commands the French. The object of the game for the British player is to occupy the fortress of Louisbourg with their army or occupy Louisbourg harbor with their ships. The French goal is to prevent the British from achieving their objectives by the end of the game.
The game has 16 turns. Each turn has an Operational Phase, Bombardment Phase, and a Player Action Phase for each side. During the Player Action Phase, a player has one action to use for the turn. Actions are used to move army units, make an amphibious move with ships and army units, conduct raids, or move ships into and out of sea areas.
Each side has the ability to bombard opposing units in adjacent locations around Louisbourg. Moving army and ship units can cause battles. Battles reduce the strength of units and cause retreats.
