"The King Philip's War (1675-78) was fought between various Native American tribes against New England colonists and their Native American allies. You can read about the causes of the war here. A product of years of struggles between both sides, the brutal war had harsh effects, especially for the Native Americans involved. It also resulted in much death and destruction for the colonists. King Philip's War, especially given the smaller size of the population at the time, was one of the most brutal conflicts in our history. Six hundred colonists died, at least twelve white settlements were destroyed, fifty more were damaged, the economy was severely damaged, and high wartime expenses (one source says 80,000 pounds) led to high taxes and financial hardship…"

In the last year or so I've become quite a "fan" of this conflict and want it to be the focus of my next expansion -- I believe it would be excellent for conversion to a Sword & the Flame variant, exactly the right scale and organizational level for a large skirmish-style game. Lots of interesting troop types to organize and paint, not expensive (hardly any cavalry), plenty of ambuscades and small sieges and desperate stands. Neo-Colonial. |

Brigade makes some nice 28mm figures for the conflict. |
