Both sets of rules ordered together at a price advantage, and if you're anything like a lot of wargamers I know (including me) you'll like to read and play more than one set before deciding which you want to continue playing, especially if you're new to a period. Order both together and not only will you make a saving on the rules and postage, you'll still get two "Soldiers Free".
William Johnson and the Invention of America
by Fintan O'Toole
A gripping read giving invaluable insight into the French & Indian War and the role of the Mohawk and the Iroquois Confederacy.
This is the story of the Irishman from a family of rebels who saved North America for the British Empire. Closer to the Indians than he was to his fellow colonists, he was the model for Hawkeye, the hero of 'The Last of the Mohicans'. An epic tale of betrayal and adventure.

French and Indian Raids in the Ohio Valley 1758
Osprey RAID27
Author: Rene Chartrand
Illustrators: Peter Dennis, Donato Spedaliere, Johnny Shumate
In 1758, at the height of the French and Indian War, British Brigadier General John Forbes led his army on a methodical advance against Fort Duquesene, French headquarters in the Ohio valley. As his army closed in upon the fort, he sent Major Grant of the 77th Highlanders and 850 men on a reconnaissance in force against the fort. The French, alerted to this move, launched their own counter-raid. 500 French and Canadians, backed by 500 Indian allies, ambushed the highlanders and sent them fleeing back to the main army. With the success of that operation, the French planed their own raid against the English encampment at Fort Ligonier under less than fifty miles away. With only 600 men, against an enemy strength of 4,000, he ordered a daring night attack on the heart of the enemy encampment. This book tells the complete story of these ambitious raids and counter-raids, giving in-depth detail on the forces, terrain, and tactics.
