A Sharp and Fierce Fight is an introductory level wargame on the battle of Cook's Mills. It is part of the Battles for Canada Series that portray famous battles fought for control of Canada during the War of 1812.
Each hex is approximately 50 yards across, a regular or militia infantry unit is 150-150 men, Dragoon units are 80 to 100 men, and artillery units represent 1 cannon or 4 Congreve rocket launchers. A turn represents 45 minutes of time.
Players use a standard deck of playing cards to activate their units (a custom series card set is available from the publisher). A six-sided die is used to resolve combats (assault and fire) as well as to resolve other game events.
