Description.
Scouts are posted in threes at quarter-mile intervals
as indicated by crosses on the map. They represent the
old Border Castles and might be given such names as
Hermitage, Threave, Branxholme, etc. A Patrol of
Raiders has to get through this line, starting at A and
trying to reach X. The Borderers have headquarters at
Z so that help can be sent to any point attacked when
reports are brought in by messengers from the Castles.
Comments. Clear definition of boundaries would be
necessary in this game, which should prove exciting pro-
vided it is kept short and snappy. The danger is that
some Castles may not have much to do. With a little
ingenuity some extra activities might be included.
