BORDER RAIDERS

bullet
Type. Cordon-Breaking. 
bullet
Numbers. Three Patrols at least; larger numbers more suitable.
bullet
Gear. Lives.
bullet
Ground. Adaptable. See Map IV. 
bullet
Time. 1 hour.

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.
