How does it play?
Batailles pour le Canada covers three battles of the French and Indian War: Fort Carillon (1758), Québec (aka The Plains of Abraham) (1759) Sainte-Foy (1760) The game scale is very large (i.e., small maps, each smaller than the magazine opened up) but the game itself is reasonably detailed for a "magazine game." This issue also includes a pair of errata counters for issue 43. As with all Vae Victis games, the counters need to be cut out and mounted.
