[Captain Black]

Hi all anyone know of a good set of Spanish/American war rules for battalion + games.

I haven't received my copy yet but The Virtual Armchair General has just come out with the new Roughriders rules that will cover Cuba and the Philippines.

Thank you very much for that info mate.

I'm in the process of writing some,  myself. I don't know much about the TVAG rules being released. In the past, most of his games have been based heavily upon "The Sword and the Flame", which I don't think is really appropriate for 1898. However, this could of course be an entirely original system!

Volley and Bayonet had two (!!) supplements devoted to the war. Even if you don't fancy using the rule system there's a wealth of great OB and scenario info in the two booklets. OOP I believe but a little hunting on the www should turn something up.
