Title: Return of the French & Indian War? (Muskets & Tomahaws first impressions)
Post by: Anatoli on 08 February 2013, 11:38:48 AM

At least I hope so, me and Thomas are going to give Muskets & Tomahawk's a try this weekend. The French & Indian War is probably my favorite historical skirmish setting. You get all the pretty uniforms and cool units of the period but the war itself lends itself wonderfully well to skirmishes between raiding and scouting parties. You don't have to paint up 120 guys marching with a bored facial expression and rifle across the shoulder, it's enough to have a dozen of miniatures to get started.

I wrote a bit about my initial impression of having read the rules, I reserve my review and final thoughts until after I have played it this Sunday. But it looks really good on paper for the most part, there are only tiny things that bother me (basically I think it would have been better off using a D10 instead of D6 considering the number of really good modifiers).

You can read about the rest of my initial impressions over at my blog:

I've been intrigued by M&T for a while, might have to give it a try!

Those are some of your best work on those miniatures I have to say, really really good!

WOW ! I love your photography  very moody shots. Who makes the figures ? Bear in mind that you can adopt any rules to suit yourself and if they d,ont work go back to the original ones.

Thanks guys,

@Belisarius

The miniatures in my collection are mostly Perry American War of Independence range and Conquest Miniatures (Indians/French marines). There are also a couple of Front Rank Figurines (like the mounted officer).
