Anyone know of any Buffalo Hunt rules? Hopefuly with a dismounted /foot option.
I'm hoping to adapt them for the Ice Age, Mammoths, Wolves, Eagles, Musk Ox & Buffalo. Oh and Sabre-tooths.
The stalking, stampeding, ensnaring/traping & killing to compare animal stat lines & reactions/defending kills against preditors, etc. anyone? |

The Old Glory Warpaint rules have a Buffalo hunt scenario. The rules are a bit under explained and you would have to make some judgement calls to play a game but it should work. |

Sounds like you want Tooth and Claw by Chris Peers. Or do you specifically want Plains Indians to hunt prehistoric animals? |

roll d8 for direction buffalo will travel, roll d12 for distance traveled – if both dice are equal they stampede (d12 + 10") – this starts the game. After that roll d8 and d12 and if d8 is 1 or 2 from original d8 roll make turn accordingly, same rule about stampedes. Indians move on 2d8's distance, turning freely. They take a shot at bison if within 2", on d10 a 9 or 10 hits, unless repeated shot at same animal, then 8,9,10, then 7,8,9,10 (that's best shot) Animal rolls on d12: 1-3 dead, 4-6 serious wound -stops, 7-10 minor wound, 11 animal goes berserk and rolls d8 and d12 invidivually every turn, 12 animal charges attacking indian – who rolls to evade on a d6 – if 6 no evasion and roll again on d6 – 6 dead, 5,4 wounded, 2,3 flee (roll for direction and distance), 1 fire at buffalo again. There you go. Fine tune on your own. |

Thats all excellent, very many thanks.
I was hopeing to use as a solo caveman game with possible crossover for Lost Worlds stuff. Pre-horse Indians is also a challenge.
I was wanting a comparisson of what other folk had between various animal types & their reactions.
Tusk do have Mammoth hunting but thats it, just Mammoths & dinosaurs. Looks like I will give tooth and Claw a whirl.
I nearly bought Warpaint last month but was for some other reason.
thanks again |
