Title: mock-up cover for "The Men Who Would Be Kings" Colonial Rules by Dan Mersey
Post by: Dalauppror on February 18, 2015, 11:15:53 AM

I got the honour to participate in the playtest of new set of wargaming rules by Dan Mersey´s (Dux Bellorum and Lion Rampant) in the Osprey Wargames serie "The Men Who Would Be Kings" (http://merseybooks.blogspot.se/search/label/The%20Men%20Who%20Would%20Be%20Kings) It's due to publish late in 2016.

It is a set of colonial 'big skirmish' rules that revolvs around the colonial era 1850-1900, and the basics are the Lion Rampant engine but with some major changes to work better for a gunpowder era.

I feel that I needed a cover for my playtest print of the rules so I put one together:)   

You can read at my blog a bit about my effort to get a Swedish angle in to the Colonial period... (http://dalauppror.blogspot.se/2015/02/the-men-who-would-be-kings.html)

Mock-up cover designed by me:) I´m sure the real stuff will be much better but this will do for now...

Of course, what else could it be but this for a cover! :D

Oddly enough, my to-do list for Thursday reads: "Mock-up TMWWBK cover".

Not sure I can find something that epic in the Osprey back catalogue, mind you!
