Title: TSATF does it still exist ??
Post by: artshiraz on May 31, 2007, 08:01:14 AM: Greetings,

yesterday I started checking and rearranging my bookmarks. And I "stumbled" over the the faboulous pages from the Major General Tremorden (http://www.zeitcom.com/majgen/), a site I check now and then, but not for a long time now. It reminded me that I wanted to buy the rules played (The Sword and the flame/TSATF)... but apparently the online store is no more active (http://www.amazon.com/gp/shops/index.html/002-2430313-7478466?sellerID=no-such-zshop).
Does someone, anyone know if there is still a possibility to get those rules ?

But they are like gold dust now, I think they are supposed to still be in print.

Not sure which versions you are looking at, but the 20th Anniversary version is probably the better bet. Besides that, there are many versions and adaptations of these rules beyond the late 19th Century colonial period. You may find some adaptations for other eras free online, though I haven't looked in a while. Some major variations include using smaller units than the 20 man units called for in the main rules. Adjustments to firepower and charging need to be made when using smaller units. Basic to these rules is the randomness of when each unit moves or fires. That produces some of the excitement.

Post by: 6mmfan on October 20, 2008, 04:32:18 AM: I think one price is for international postage and the other US. I ordered the scenario pack (which is very good) but it took a couple of months to arrive to me in New Zealand. They are slow but I ordered just before the hurricane season which delayed things a bit.
