Litlle bighorn event 25 june

[Slawtering]

Would this be realistic? You do know there was no last stand as we would know it they held there ground for an average 4 shots for each soldier and then tried to retreat and as one of the indians said " They fired as madmen or drunkards" or something along them lines. I shall dig out my history book. Saying that there was definetly a last stand of a sort on the particular hill but not to the level of the movies or as the media portrays.

The indians also nearly all had repeating/revolving rifles whereas custers men had single shot rifles to conserve ammunition and to promote individual shooting.

Saying this I'd love to die for Custer

[George A. Custer]

I just refer to 'last stand' because that'/ how it was called. , there Might not have been a actual last stand  but still this event Will neither demonize indians nor cavalry

[Slawtering]

Well if you can sort it you've got a soldier ready to fight the indians

This isn't even a Civil War Battle come on guys In my opinion not focusing on the Civil War kind of detracts from the mod.
