I have been doing some reading on King Philips War. There is a wealth of information about the battles and skirmishes to do a booklet of scenarios. I am wondering if people would be interested enough to make it worth the effort. Any thoughts here? |

a booklet of scenarios For what rules? |

Why would they need to be rule specific? I'd be interested. I have figs I could use for the Europeans and the Indians wouldn't take long to paint. I'm all for it. |

Yes, I would very interested. I have lots of woodland warriors ready, would just need to get my puritans painted! |

The actions ranged from 10 -20 on a side to 200+ each.
Many of the early battles are lopsided ambushes of the colonists. Some of the Colonial officers were complete novices and allowed themselves to get buffaloed.
I think the trick is to use info for a couple of popular rules. |

Sounds like a good idea to me. And I also do not see why they need to be for a certain set of rules. |

I'd love to see something like that. Go for it Mate! I'm one of the majority that loves reading historical accounts but stink at turning them into interesting scenarios. |

Sounds like a great idea – I play F&IW using Muskets and Tomahawks but this war is on my to do list as suitable for skirmish gaming. |

I'd be keen on such a book… specially if it was rules neutral. Or is the phrase rules agnostic? |

A very good idea indeed Jlunberg, I'm all for it. Why would they need to be rule specific? Pictors: Agreed, sadly I find spoon feeding has becoming increasingly prevalent within the hobby. regards
dave ps I mean no slight on you Major, hope the sore clears up soon  |

Very interested! I'm using plastic 20mm figures (from Esci, I think, but might be wrong on that): colonists (combatants and non-combatants alike) from their Puritan set, with a few TYW figures mixed in; Indians from their AWI set, even though they are not quite accurate; and the non-combatants and lodges from their "Friendly Indians" set. The Balagan site has scenarios and other information of relevance here. |

I would love such a book; I'm almost strictly a 1/72 gamer and so I got Revell's 30 years war figures and some Imex and the Italeri AWI Indians for just this area; only now I'm being tempted by 30Yw and ECW. "The First Frontier" by Weidensaul has some good ambushes and fights, but not as granular as I'd like. |
