There were several wars fought between Connecticut and Pennsylvania over the Wyoming Valley in Northeastern PA.

colonialwarsct.org/1769.htm The background involved Charles II giving land grants to anyone and everyone, with little or no actual consultation of accurate maps. This might give some fun scenarios for those with a bunch of FIW or AWI militia and want to have a game with no Indians involved. Show up with a bunch of bullies not very interested in actually fighting, but eager to show how tough you are.
Note that the wars were not particularly bloody. I imagine there was more bluster and lawsuits than actual fighting. Perhaps there was some sort of haka involved. Hainna or no?
Have a coupla two tree beers and have at 'em. |

All you need is a few lawyer and a few newspaper editor figures. Snore. |

It could be a great use of period figures in a alternative conflict. Especially if you kept out the units from north central Connecticut as they would unbalance the game. How much nutmeg could Pennsylvania possibly be forced to buy, in terms of reparations anyway? |

Depends on how much Yeungling your lads drink in return… Eric |
