The Battle of Adobe Walls

The Battle of Adobe Walls is a wargame covering the First Battle of Adobe Walls (November 25, 1864).

In late 1864, due to the continual raids on the wagon trains traveling along the SanteFe trail, Kit Carson and an expeditionary force were sent out by General Carleton to raid the Comanche an d Kiowa winter camps. Carson’s force discovered the Indians camped along the Canadian river near the abandoned ruins of the adobe fort and attacked. The initial camp they encountered was small but a much larger camp was nearby and Carson soon found himself in a veritable wasp nest of Indians braves. Carson dismounted his Cavalry troops, and through the killful use of grass fires and two howitzers, repelled the fierce assaults of the Indians. By the end of the day, running low of ammo, Carson managed to withdraw his forces back to the safety of his infantry reserve s and the supply wagons.
