Yes. When I do a log cabins and blockhouse skirmish game, I put dozens of individual Indians all over the table. They represent fear, where Indians MIGHT be. Whenever a colonist or soldier gets close enough, a die roll reveals whether there are really any Indians there; mostly not. But there will eventually be several scouts and either a couple of small warbands or one large one.
