### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A seriously un-serious miniature battle ruleset for all.
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2016*

Paging through the book, there is quite a bit nice to say about it.  It essentially covers Victorian Era conflicts using roughly fifty soldiers for each side; native armies might require eighty (there is a variant to use less).  The rules are designed for quick play and use a simplified rating for each unit. The focus is on British Colonial; heavy on South Africa with Zulus and Boers to the fore. There is information to include French (Foreign Legion) Germans, and other Colonial nationalities.  US Cavalry vs Apache or Plains Indians.  The rules are easily adaptable.  There is encouragement to use Hollywood films as inspiration for scenarios.  The game focuses on the spirit instead of textbook history; though textbook studies are still usefully applied in this game.

    Awesome set of Colonial Skirmish Rules
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019*

I have not played them yet, but they look like great fun with the right mix of history, whimsy, and fun. Look forward to breaking these rules out!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fun Set Of Rules
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2017*

We have played with these rules a few times now, not perfect but a lot of fun, and good quick play. Read the write up, it's intended to be movie like action and that is a good description. Well thought out flow of play. If you are looking to learn a lot about the history of the conflicts included here, this is the wrong place. Time frame is the later colonial period.
