We've just received the new Colonial set of rules from Osprey Games, written by Dan Mersey, titled The Men Who Would Be Kings. link Cheers Nick |

Question: in 28mm I have 39 Arab riflemen, 28 with swords and such and 12 prone gnomes that I'll use if I absolutely have to. (that's 67 + 12) I have 32 French Foreign Legion and 21 Senegalese Tirailleurs, (total 53) with 4 lovely pack mules to be guarded. Is that enough figures for these rules? |

Good news, I thought it wasn't being released til the 22nd. Or not good news for me as I thought I had another 3 weeks to finish my Pathans off before the campaign starts. |

Looking to picking this up. |

vtsaogames – yes you can play the game with that number of figures. Your Field Forces will be slightly reduced point-wise from the standard 24 points (you'll have around 20 points off the top of my head) but you shouldn't have any real issues. |

Gnomes vs. FFL -- that's what I'm talking about! |

Is this 'The Sword and the Flame' revisited? |
NickNorthStar | 02 Sep 2016 1:23 p.m. PST |
No, it's Lion Rampant re-written. |

It's nice and cheap, full of artwork (Osprey) and painted figures, some of which we contributed to, and written in a friendly, fun manner that encourages 'Hollywood' gaming as much as strict historical. |

katnmoose, Askari makes the mules askari-minis.com they also make the Senegalese Tirailleurs I use, very nice |
