Hi! First post on TMP. Just started branching out from FOW and got a large lot of Plains Wars figures on eBay. The Pony Wars ruleset looks like a lot of fun but can't find a copy of this OOP publication. Do you have a copy gathering dust that you'd like to sell? Many thanks!

I believe I have a copy of Pony Wars yet. Let me check and get back on here later. |

One of the great rule sets. For sheer inspiration alone it can't be beat. I hope you find one! |

Thank you, all, for your replies! Still looking for a copy. I'd be mighty grateful! |

Definitely worth contacting Pete at Baccus; about a year ago he was talking about re-releasing the Pony Wars rules IIRC |

Not to put a damper on things, but Mr Berry has been talking about that for years and nothing's happened. Not sure whether it's due to copyright issues or lack of interest. It's a shame, because the game deserves a re-release, and 6mm might work quite well for it. |

Wasn't able to see any mention of the project on their website, but sent Pete at Baccus an email anyway. Fingers crossed for a copy from someone… |

What are people's opinions about sharing OOP rules? I work in a field (computer games) that is plagued by unauthorized copying, and yet, in this case, I can't really see who is being hurt, especially when the individual in question is willing to buy a copy but cannot find one to buy. |

Found a copy in the "vault", if your still interested $20 USD and it's yours. Razordog78@gmail.com |

Thanks, Razor78! Contacting you now! |

Nick, that can be a tricky issue – copyright extends well beyond the life of the author. I guess I'll have to pull up my copy and see if author placed a copyright mark in the publication. Doesn't need to be registered to be copyrighted – that only helps give legal weight but the copyright still exists. Having said all that – if no one claims any right and people want it someone will eventually make a copy. The problem is in trying to sell it. Giving away a copy where no money changes hands (other than postage) might not get anyone in hot water. Sounds like Bash On will get his copy. Though $20 USD bucks is a bit steep for the quality (at least my version) but if you want it bad enough you'll pay. Good resource. A big part of why I have such a huge number of figures for the period. Don't believe me – look here: whiskeyhills.blogspot.com |

Checking my copy, Pony Wars is copyright Ian S Beck, September 1980. |

If anyone has a copy I'd be interested in purchasing a copy as well. |
