This scenario is based on the events of June 2, 1866 being only a small skirmish and Col. Booker (Canadian) not advancing the QORs and the 13th alone but waiting until additional troops arrived.

After determining reinforcements, the Canadian player determines when the advance is scheduled for, from starting locations. The Chippawa force arrives according to the following: roll result 1-2 an hour early 3-4 a half hour early 5-6 on time 7-8 half hour late 9 hour late 10 hour and half late. Of course this is with respect to the Port Colburne Force, which always is on time. Special Scenario Rules: 1) All non- exceptional Canadian units must attempt to form square if they have LOS to mounted enemy cavalry and are with charging distance. They form square if they roll an allowed formation change, (note they must use their leaders (who really did order "form square") bonuses to their rolls if in range Square formation- make a box with troops and always flanked by fire. After one complete turn they may change back, even if cavalry still around. 2) Canadians fire as 1/1 except for the British HM 16th and HM 47th which fire as 2/2. The artillery fires as with Union factors, 10/4/3/2. 3) All Fenians fire as Union Cavalry, i.e. 2/1. ***Reinforcements*** (Fenians only) The 19th, 69th, 63rd, and 88th can attempt to come over starting on the night of June 2 at the lower ferry. Each of the four roll and if the result is seven or higher, the unit successfully crosses. The 2nd NY can attempt to cross using the captured W.T. Robb at Fort Erie but it needs a 8 or higher. General M.W. Burns crosses with the last unit over (even if it is captured in crossing, so is he). Every following night, the remaining reinforcements can still try to cross, however, during the day of June 3rd, General Geo. Meade orders the S.S. Michigan and Hamiliton to interfere with Fenians attempting to cross. thus the rolls are at -2. If any result during a night is zero or negative, the crossing unit is captured and no further troops make it across that night. Note that starting on the night of June 3rd any Fenian unit that reached spent status has run to US border and surrendered to the Michigan or Hamiliton. All other units retain their current effectiveness until they rest for a day. Lowry's reserves- home guard called up even more hastily than anyone else. If the British Canadians lose badly on June 3rd, they may be brought up or the Fenians can try to advance to Chippawa ( which has two nearby bridges over to the US border) Victory : The Canadians must defeat and drive the Fenians off the battlefield If they do it on June 3rd,a decisive Canadian Victory. If it takes two days it is a marginal Canadian victory. 3 days is a Fenian marginal, (encouraging further raids?), and holding out indefinitely is truly the only Fenian victory, especially if they can capture Chippawa and a bridge to the US.
