Rules

[Shazam]

Just wondering what alternates are there out there for rules I am aware of the Gaslight rules and the impending compendium. Just wondering if there were other rules out there for a noob like me?

[leadfool]

"Rampant Colonialism" and "Colonial Adventures" are both "colonial" rules that easily lend themselves to VSF. RC is by Flagship games and CA is by Two hour wargames.

We are currently trying the set by Parroom station called "Valor Steel and Flesh" (VSF).  Our Sacramento group likes any of those sets better then GASLIGHT.  Maybe just because we can only count to ten and G-light uses that confusing 20 sided die.  Or maybe because we can't remember an Acronim of more then 3 letters. 

Good luck with what ever set you use.  Besides, if you don't modify the rules somewhat, you aren't really playing VSF.

Agree with Leadfool, Valour and Steel and Flesh. They are bsed on Brother Against Brother and use the same mechanics.

I've definitely got to go along with recommending the Valor, Steel and Flesh rules.

IS VSF a skirmish 1 figure to a base game?

[Skrapwelder]

Yes, and units are 10 figures. The activation of units is card driven with a few variants on how to activate units. In its simplest form a deck made up of one card per unit or character is shuffled and two cards are flipped over at a time. Each side is represented by a color and activates units of its choice as cards of its color are flipped. Face cards are reserved for Officers and Characters.

A..well...third for VSF.

I liked Gaslight until I tried the VSF.  Not that I am saying Gaslight is bad, I just like VSF better.

This is one of many threads about rules. Perhaps a sticky listing all the ones used would be a good idea?

[Shazam]

yes that would be a good choice

Your wish is my command, Good idea.

Don't forget about Space 1889. Although we use a mix of Sword & the flame with things taken from Space 1899,
