Boxer Rebellion Reserection
« on: 02 February 2021, 03:46:40 PM »
Set up my old 55 days at Peking game for fun. Will revisit my homemade rules and tweak them a bit.

Thanks! I spent about 10 years off and on gathering figures, buildings and trying to come up with rules that would play fast at a convention and still have a fun Hollywood feel. We had about 12 to 15 players from the Mid-America Wargames club and it worked out pretty good. But then life got in the way and it sat in boxes until now. Since that game I have added another 150 Chinese and a couple of rickshaws and more civilians. Tweaking the rules to add more detail and a bit of tactics and card play.

Convention games are the base to recruit some new club members. Must be fun and attractive for the players and the public . ;)

Over the years I've often dreamt of doing a 55 Days at Peking sort of game, but the urban terrain required has always made it a nonstarter. Seeing your set-up makes the fingers quiver, however. Very well done!

May be the new issue of the plastic Wargame Atlantic Boxer will drive more people to this period.  ;)
