Rules…
America's Olde West: 28mm Skirmish Actions & Gunfights – 1836 to 1890 Time to saddle up, pardner, and hit the trail to action in the Olde West, from the Comanche Wars (1836) to Wounded Knee (1890). This skirmish ruleset, an offshoot of the WWII Skirmish Action rules, certainly covers the traditional Wild West (post-ACW to 1880s), but the Indian Wars ranged over a far wider period and so does America's Olde West. Initiative is by faction (gang, squad, war party, posse, etc.), which usually numbers between four and ten, and each figure gets one action – Move, Shoot, Take Cover, and so on. Then each figure dices against its quality number for a second action… but certain factions receive a second action without needing a roll. For example, U.S. infantry do not need an action to reload. That offers subtle differences between factions.
All the popular weapons, such as Winchester '73 and Colt Peacemaker, are included in the weapon charts. Firing is a quick six-sided attacker die versus six-sided defender die, with the difference determining the result. Includes six pages of army lists: cowboys, U.S. cavalry, native Americans, gunfighters, outlaws, and factions, scenarios, and quick reference cards. Plays well on small kitchen tables.

TMP Special Offer: Save 15%. New price: $19.55 USD
Zeebrugge 1918: The Greatest Raid of All The combined forces invasion of the Belgian port of Zeebrugge on 23 April 1918 remains one of Britain's most glorious military undertakings; not quite as epic a failure as the charge of the Light Brigade, or as well publicized as the Dam Busters raid, but with many of the same basic ingredients. The essential story of the Zeebrugge mission has been told before, but never through the direct, first-hand accounts of its survivors – including that of Lieutenant Richard Sandford, VC, the acknowledged hero of the day, and the author's great uncle. The fire and bloodshed of the occasion is the book's centerpiece, but there is also room for the family and private lives of the men who volunteered in the hundreds for what they knew effectively to be a suicide mission. $33.00 USD
TMP Special Offer: Save 15%. New price: $28.05 USD
