Muskets and Tomahawks Rules
Second Edition.
Muskets & Tomahawks is a set of rules for recreating skirmishes during the major wars of the 18th and 19th centuries.
This “small war” is intrinsic to military campaigns and encompasses a huge variety of situations: reconnaissance missions; raids on enemy villages; attacks on convoys and outposts; and much more.
Muskets & Tomahawks sees you lead a detachment of between twenty and over a hundred figures in thrilling and tactical battles. Centred on the card-based activation of different troop types; with innovative mechanics that recreate the chaos of these kinds of encounters; Muskets & Tomahawks lets you replay the great wars of the age of black powder: the French and Indian Wars; the American Revolution; Napoleon’s campaigns; the American Civil War; and the multitude of colonial conflicts fought by the empires of Europe.
In this book you will find the core rules; as well as a set of special rules to recreate the peculiarities of the small war: spotting the enemy; hidden movement; the varying reactions of units with different doctrines; combat in unusual conditions; and officers’ ambitions and personal intrigues. Apart from this rulebook; you’ll need the Muskets & Tomahawks supplement that covers the period you want to recreate to start playing your first games.
