Hi all, I'm currently working on a ruleset for skirmish level pirate battles. I'm looking for folk who would be happy to volunteer some pictures of their crews/colonial forces to appear in the book. You would of course receive full credit and a pdf version of the rules once completed. I'm also after people to play test the ruleset as well.
A very brief synopsis…
'Ahoy and welcome to Cutthroats & Corsairs, a miniatures game that puts you in charge of your own crew as you either embrace the way of the pirate by looting, stealing and plundering or attempt to maintain order and shut down piracy with your colonial forces.
Cutthroats & Corsairs requires you to have relatively few models per side, offering an inexpensive entry point and making each miniature that you have put the time and effort into painting, a key player in your crew. Forays can consist of as little as 3 miniatures per side and anywhere up to around 7 per crew provides a game that should last hour or two.
The game centres itself around the so called ‘Golden Age' of piracy. The rules are designed to give a cinematic playing experience and borrows as much from swashbuckling adventure films as documented history. As a game system, it therefore may not satisfy those who are looking for a gritty, historical representation of this period, but for those of us who enjoy feats of derring-do and fast paced action, Cutthroats & Corsairs offers plenty of both.'
So – if you think you might be interested, drop me an email at ihannam@gmail.com
Thanks in advance!
