Heroic Battles of Derring-Do

A fast, accessible set of Victorian and Edwardian wargame rules for large skirmish actions using individually based figures.

A simple card-driven system – the Deck of Fate and the Deck of Fortune – creates unpredictable turns, sudden events, and strong narrative play. Units move and fire as groups, but soldiers fight as individuals, allowing notable figures to emerge naturally on the table.

The rules cover Colonial warfare and major 19th Century conflicts, with army lists ranging from the Indian Mutiny to the American Civil War, the Franco-Prussian War, the Boer War, and beyond. Designed for quick learning, solo suitability, and memorable games, they provide a streamlined way to recreate the color, drama and shifting fortunes of the period.
