Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.

[nicknorthstar]

The tokens aren't here yet, but I believe they are thick printed card, like the Saga counters and measuring sticks. Congo, the other Studio Tomahawk game, has similar as well.

Redcoats and Tomahawks has the army lists in for F&IW, AWI and War of 1812. There are no army lists in the main rulebook. Like Saga II.

Nick, will the era supplements be released in chronological order?

[nicknorthstar]

I don't think that's the plan. The next one is Napoleonics, which comes next I'm not sure about but the plan is for a Colonial book and an ACW book.

Hello Nick, are the french and english armies equal in points ?
I've noticed that the english army is not the same between level 6 and level 5/4, any reasons ?

[nicknorthstar]

Hi

Yes, both armies are just over 300 points. That's the minimum you need to play, and classed a skirmish force in the rules.

I'll check the British armies, cheers

The Nickstarter has gone bonkers. All three Spend Goals have been hit. That's free figures all round folks

Will Beaujeu and Tanaghrisson be available for sale or will only the backers receive them?

Studio Tomahawk commissioned them just for the Nickstarter, they'll never be for sale. They might appear in a future promotion, but probably not.
Mike Owen has also designed some Nickstarter only figures, they are in place for future Spend Goals.

I'm so glad I backed this Nickstarter.  I had thought of just buying the rules and supplement.

I can't back the Nickstarter at this time.Oh well perhaps some will end up on ebay.

How many figures per unit in this game?

[nicknorthstar]

The number of figures per unit varies.
You need a minimum 4 Indians, a minimum 6 Irregulars and a minimum 8 Regulars. But you can add to them, usually upto 12 figures.

Well, I bit the bait and ordered a few models from the Nickstarter, mostly to complete certain gaps in my collection. So far I have painted 42 Iroquois and 12 Compagnies Franches de la Marine (Conquest Miniatures, now Warlord), 24 Provincials from the Virginia Regiment (Eureka Miniatures) and 12 British regulars and one officer (Galloping Major Miniatures, which tower over the other two ranges, but who cares). I have another 12 Provincials, 8 rangers and 8 British Regulars (all Galloping Major) in the pipeline; also I can increase my Compagnies Franches de la Marine with another 12 models (leftovers from the Warlord box). And now I have ordered in the Nickstarter 6 Highlander Lights (now I realize that I should have ordered 2 packs, as regulars are 8/12 models!), the 2 codes for Canadian Militias, and one blister of those British regulars in campaign look (a love at first sight!)

I haven’t git many d10, so I would be grateful if anyone could advice how many d10 dice will be needed for the game, 1 for each miniature, ie the maximum number equals the number of miniatures in your biggest unit?

[nicknorthstar]

It's a dice per figure. I'd advise 12 dice?
