Beware the Inuit

In my GB campaign I wiped out the last French Colony on NewFoundland around 1735. Several turns later the Inuit declared war on me. Unlike their Huron cousins who have only tried raiding the Moose Factory a few times, these warriors are agressive. Two seasons after the declaration of war two half stacks of Inuit crossed the land-bridge into NewFoundland and took the capitol from my depleted and unreinforced garrison. Is Quebec next? One if by land, two if by kayak?

Haha, wow. These boys are hard-core.

Indeed. I've had my bad share of experiences with the eskimos.

I have had them declare war on me but they never showed up. May be I was lucky.

I'm hoping the same happens to me -having just replicated Hosakawa Ito's situation.

Park a sloop on the land bridge and you will be save. Unless they have first rates canoe's with 100 guns.

Uh oh! In my French campaign, the Intuit & Huron both DOW'ed me early in the campaign, but have yet to do anything. For a while, I had some infantry garrisoned at Quebec, and a sloop parked at the Newfoundland land bridge. But eventually, not seeing any war parties appearing from the north, I sent the infantry to bolster my colonial army, and assigned the sloop to ferrying agents from NA to Europe.

I guess I need to consider myself warned! Who knew those eskimos were such a threat? Also, do they also fight shirtless? I've been waiting to fight an native american army on a snowy battlefield to see if this is still the case.

As soon as they declared war on me, I slapped a fort up in Newfoundland to protect any industry. They attacked several times but that depleted their units and I was able to counterattack. Thankfully, I had not had Newfoundland long when they attacked. I still had most of the units there.
