Science Vs Pluck 3rd Ed.
Publisher: Pulp Action Library
Science Vs Pluck is a game of the Sudan Wars set at a generalship level in which players portray officers in the service of Queen or Khedive, and seek to solve a variety of problems posed by the enemy, the harsh terrain and cli-mate and, indeed, their own orders. All the participants serve together in, one would hope, some degree of cooperation, while one or more Umpires, control the wild Sudanese foe-men, other Imperial Officers and their, troops, and the universe in general. A distinct degree of roleplaying is required; Players are expected to devote themselves to behaving in a properly Victorian manner, while the Umpire will ensure that his own dramatic performances of fellow Britons, Arab merchants, Syrian interpreters and suitably obsequious other ranks are appropriately Kiplingesque. Tea and buttered scones should be available at all times, stronger spirits only after noon.
This is the 3rd. ed., previously published by The Virtual Armchair General.
