ok, I'm starting with a little lection of history (thanks to: http://www.garryowen.com/)

"One of the most chronicled events in the history of the American West was the famous Battle of the Little Big Horn, otherwise known as Custer's Last Stand.

Custer marched with approximately 700 soldiers, moving south for several days, identifying Indian camp signs all along the way. After making visual contact with the Indians on 23 June, Custer ordered the column to turn west toward the Little Big Horn Valley. On 24 June, the Arikara and Osage scouts identified a party of Sioux following them. The Sioux fled when approached and Custer did not want any of the Sioux encampment to escape. On the night of 24 June, Custer outlined the plan for the next day. When the his regiment reached the Sioux encampment on 25 June 1876, Custer made a decision to attack and fight the Indians.

Traveling up Rosebud Creek, at 12:07 Custer split his command into three battalions. Major Reno, in command of companies "A", "G", and "M", was directed to attack the southern most end of the village in the valley. Captain Benteen, in command of companies "D", "H", and "K", was directed to explore the area in a southwesterly direction and to "pitch into anything that he might find." Captain McDougall was assigned with "B" Company to guard the pack train. Custer took the five companies of "C", "E", "F", "I", and "L" to make a frontal attack on the encampment.

Within a short period of time, Custer and his troops were annihilated by the full might of an estimated 5,000 8-

I did quite a bit of research on this a few years back to make a movie about, a rather sad end to the war indeed :-( Can we expect to see a large battle between your Cavalry and Sioux? Please? :-$

Good work, I look forward to seeing your Sioux army *sweet*

Ps. Did Custer have blonde hair? I

Yes, Custer has blonde hair, and really indians want his scalp,

however, during the little big horne battle, Custer has short hair and so Sioux didn't recognise him. :-)
