goes to sea with the Terrain Mat.
The weeks just before a major show like Cold Wars sees the OMM shoppe a-hopping, with orders being placed and orders coming in.
Here are the latest rules, uniform guides, books, and other items we're carrying… and will have available for Cold Wars and sooner.
RULES…
AS PER MARGIN: Fleet Action Miniatures Rules for the Age of Sail Command a fleet when ships of wood and men of iron ruled the waves! Some of the most enlightened miniature rules came from the talented Brother Aelred, who wrote the Monk's Corner column in MWAN. As Per Margin: Fleet Action Miniatures Rules for the Age of Sail is the first of his rulesets to be revived, revised, and expanded to grace wargamers' tabletops. Including the Seven Years War to the Napoleonic Era, As Per Margin's fast-play action with no order writing means you spend more time sailing and firing and less time fidgeting. Clever 'falling aboard' movement brings ships close enough to grapple and board – and maybe even collide.
Includes: new Graphical Ship Charts covering 1st through 6th Rate ships and merchant ships, uses d6 dice, Quick Reference Sheet with all tables on one side of sheet, and scenario: Second Battle of Finisterre, October 14, 1747. Optional rules include red hot shot, shore batteries, debris fields, elite crews, and more. $19.00 USD
FIREBALL FORWARD: Marines at Guadalcanal, August to October 1942 Supplement to Fireball Forward focuses on the tiny island of Guadalcanal, August-October 1942, and its crucial airfield. The newly constituted 1st Marine Division's green volunteers and some hard-bitten veterans (the Old Breed) dig in and try to hold against the best that Imperial Japan has to throw at them. The fate of the Pacific War hangs in the balance. Follow the action in 14 action-packed historical scenarios. Also included: new rules and vehicle data cards for all vehicles. $25.00 USD
FATE OF BATTLE: Look Sarge No Charts Napoleonics Grew from the clever Look, Sarge, No Charts: WWII system and designed to replicate large battles in the Napoleonic Wars (and other horse-and-musket periods). In order to facilitate this span of control, streamlined mechanics remove the charts so players can fight the battle, not the rules. 1 inch = 50 yards, 1 turn = 15-30 minutes, and 1 unit = 1 infantry battalion, 1 cavalry regiment, or 1 artillery battery. $30.00 USD
