I hoped no one would ask
We are a little bit delayed.
Book is finished but release date is postponed until end of February. Thats due to layout and cover art. This is our biggest project so far and we want it to be good.
Best regards
Björn

That's February's 'pocket money' already spent then!!

Thank you for the update...I'm VERY eagerly awaiting this one, as I have much 2nd Afghan War/NW Frontier action planned for these rules!!!!

Cheers
Andy

Are you still looking for a title? How about the classic, The sun never sets?

Good title, but there is already a rule set with that name (just like to point that one out because my name is printed in the back on the "roll of honour!"

).

We have a title ! Its a simple one.

Good evening,

we are still working on the layout and on the cover. The cover will be different to the previous covers.

Something else will be different as well. The Colonial Supplement will be printed in color. The layout so far looks great and it would be a shame to print it in black and white.

The contents is spread over five chapters. At a total of about 60 pages.

The first chapter is about New Rules like volley fire and formation rules, transport units, limber, rockets ( yes - with minimum range ) and other weapons. We also included the trumpets and flag rules from the LoM Supplement.

Chapter too is some fluff about the colonial age because I believe that wargaming also has an educational mission

Chapter Three gives an overview about tribal traits and other native special rules. I wrote rules for tactical traits like bad shots, advanced deployment, throwing spears and charges and psychological traits like fanatics, fatalists, bravery and others. These rules make it possible to design your own native troops that are not covered by the supplement. Theese special rules can also be used for adventurous Darkest Africa games.

Chapter four is all about army lists. The rules have a closer look at the British Army but can easily adopted to all other European trained armies of the colonial age. The supplement also covers lists for the Egyptian and Indian Army.

There are lists for The Zulus ( and others ) !

Chapter five is about optional rules. They can be used for special scenarios, larger battles or campaign games. They can change the game balancing a bit. Rules included are bayonet charges, extended coherency, guard units, densely packed troops, the famous square and others.

We still hope to get the supplement ready at the end of February but - and this is the bad news - it could be delayed until mid March.

Cheers
Björn

Waiting for...

Having play tested these rules - I have to say this looks to be a great supplement!

My group used them last night to fight a SYW game in India and they worked well.

Can't wait to see them.

I'm sure it will be at least as good as the other T&T books and probably even better

Having played a couple of very enjoyable 19thC colonial games with the basic rules, I'm certain this will be an essential buy.

these things happen

Hi,

the work is done. The Triumph & Tragedy Colonial supplement will be in print this week and available around the 20th of May.

Here is a little preview of the title page and the rear side of the supplement.

The book is in complete color with lots of pictures of miniatures, terrain and historical stuff ( thanks to Ian Knight ). You will get new rules, optional rules, skills and traits, historical information and a few army lists.

Cheers
Björn
