BelloLudi Muskets Skirmish game 1700-1865 pdf

The game is designed as a multiplayer game but will work just as fine with only two players or even solo. The same goes for the number of miniatures involved. It is possible to start with only 20-odd miniatures, but that can easily be expanded. Hopefully, playing the game will encourage you to create your own armies. Similarly, the distances are given in inches for use with 28mm scale soldiers. Feel free to adapt to centimetres should you not have the space or when you use a smaller scale of miniatures.

This ruleset simulates battles in the period of 1700 to roughly 1865, the age in which European countries forged empires all over the world and combatted each other and the various indigenous people. The rules will work for skirmishes in colonial settings, the French Indian Wars, the American War of Independence, the Napoleonic Wars, the American Civil War and other conflicts.

Your role will be that of a commander of a small group of soldiers.
