Captain Ray leads his company in a defensive stand near a cottonwood water hole against Sioux forces. Field pushes ahead with the flankers as Indian riders flee toward the ridges, while Ray coordinates cover fire and holds the line. The clash reveals internal tribal tensions and competing leaders as the siege tightens.
Ray’s command, marching under a hot autumn sun, confronts Sioux prowess at Wic Tooth ridge. The captain foresees heavy losses if he pursues or retreats, fearing circle-fire and encirclement that would strand his men. The scene recalls Custer’s doomed stand as the Sioux fight to halt the advance.
A mounted Sioux attack on a small blue-clad force unfolds with Red Fox signaling and a dramatic cavalry charge across a burned prairie. Fire and smoke erupt from hidden Carbine lines as the neutral field erupts into clash, leaving the fort defended yet scarred by the Sioux retreat.
