The year is 1816, the place is Smith's farm in the Nepean valley, in what is now New South Wales, Australia. We are using the rules
Smooth and Rifled (with some house rules) as they work very well for this level of skirmish. We are using a scenario from
A Grab Bag of Games.
At first the Darug people though only a few didjurigura garraway (white men) would come. But more than could ever have been imagined come up the river and the roads.
Fearing trouble, Governor Macquarie sends soldiers of the Veteran Company under Lieutenant Rivers, that loyal public servant, to Smith's Farm.
A Darug leader, known in Lieutenant Rivers' journal as 'Ecstatic Traveller', or to the settlers as Happy Wanderer, or to the soldiers as just Happy decides enough is enough. He decided to gather the warriors and attack the place where the "fluffy-white kangaroo mob" lives.
Our industrious scene is shattered as some hostile Darug warriors approaching from the north east.
The Darug warriors, however move incredibly quickly and throw a shower of spears as they run, wounding or terrifying the settlers.
Then the veteran company comes to the rescue.
