Dominion of Sombreros and Dynamite

This stand-alone set of rules is built on the Dominion of the Spear solo-game system, with appropriate rule changes for the Mexican Revolution 1910-1920 – in particular, defeated units become unreliable instead of being removed. These are very, very simple rules with armies of three to seven units, and a solo battle can be fought in around 15 to 20 minutes. An example play-through game is included. There is a Quick Reference Sheet on the back cover. Use paper and pen (or miniatures of any scale) as there is no measuring (grid used). Uses two six-sided dice.

23 historical battles are included, ready to play, each with a brief background, army lists, deployment, and brief account of what happened historically, along with a final summary.
