Rules…
Rebels and Patriots: Wargaming Rules for North America: Colonies to Civil War Rules focus on the skirmishes, raids and small engagements from this era of black powder and bayonet. Your company is commanded by your officer during these tumultuous conflicts. Each battle that your officer faces allows him to develop new and interesting traits. Does he perform heroically and earn a nom de guerre? Or falter, to be forever known as a yellow-belly? Designed by Michael Leck and Daniel Mersey, with a core system based on the popular Lion Rampant rules, Rebels and Patriots provides all the mechanics and force options needed to recreate the conflicts that forged a nation. $20.00 USD

The Battle of Glenshiel: The Jacobite Rising in 1719 With Scots fighting on both sides, the 1719 rising was on one hand a civil war, a continuation of the Jacobite wars, a protracted period of intermittent political and armed conflict affecting the British Isles from the late 17th to the mid-18th centuries; and on the other hand was an extension of the wider European war of the Quadruple Alliance, ranging the powers of Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Imperial Austria against Spain. For these reasons, a battalion of white-coated Spanish infantry fought beside Jacobite clansmen at Glenshiel, while there were Dutch infantrymen in the opposing ranks of the government army. Background and course of the rising is considered in detail, making use of published and archival sources to reconstruct the likely course of events. Chapters on the leading figures, and on the opposing armed forces, place the Battle of Glenshiel within the contexts of the Jacobite period, and of early 18th Century European warfare. $40.00 USD
