Black Powder: Last Argument of Kings Reprinted

Volleyfire writes:

I recently had someone moan that BP is too generic so they aren't that keen on them as a rules set, having missed the point completely that that is exactly what makes them so usable and appealing as its easier to game through different periods when the basic mechanics of each game are the same, thus avoiding having to constantly learn different rules, and the gamer with a little work can alter the army lists with the various extra 'special rules' available to him to tailor his force more realistically to the period or battle in question.
A supplement book dedicated to the latter end of the 19th century would be nice however.

Our popular Black Powder supplement, Last Argument of Kings, has been reprinted and is now back in stock. Having made minor text corrections and added more up-to-date images, it is available to buy now.

This full-color, 112 page softback supplement for the Black Powder game covers the main conflicts and armies of the 18th Century, and includes army lists and special rules to enable you to refight these wars using the Black Powder rules, as well as scenarios for the most dramatic battles of the time. Featured conflicts include:

The War of the Spanish Succession – the Battle of Blenheim (1704)
The Great Northern War – the Battle of Holowczyn (1708)
The Austro-Turkish Wars – the Battle of Petrovardin (1716)
The War of the Austrian Succession – the Battle of Fontenoy (1745)
The Wars of the English Succession – the 1745 Rebellion
The Seven Years' War – the Battle of Hundorf (1762)
War in the Colonies – The French Indian War & The War in India
Raids and Invasions – Amphibious Warfare in the 18th Century

Don't forget that if you buy the book from us directly (webstore, via phone, at shows or by popping in to Warlord HQ), you'll also receive this superb free miniature representing a member of the Black Watch from the cover of the supplement – Wee Wullie.

With our recent partnership with Conquest Miniatures seeing the release of many miniatures from the French and Indian War plus various Indian conflicts as well as our existing Jacobite Rebellion characters, this is just the book you need to re-enact the likes of Quebec, Culloden, and many more during this period.
