NMtB Ruckus? Where can I find it?

[Dukewilliam]

Men,

As the title says, looking for the small skirmish rules until I have enough guys painted to play the big skirmish rules.

Any extras lying around? Any sites you can direct me to?

Any help appreciated; will gladly pay shipping and any reasonable request if anyone has a magazine copy just sitting there.

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

For all things Ruckus, including a hard copy of the rules, go to Wargames Illustrated https://www.wargamesillustrated.net/games/heres-the-ruckus/

There is some extra free content on the FB page which is the best place to find out what is happening in the busy Ruckus community https://www.facebook.com/groups/herestheruckus

or if you don't do Facebook, you will find most additional content here https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/429176/never-mind-the-billhooks-heres-the-ruckus

I hope that helps, you can always DM me here if you have any queries-Mike

If I remember correctly, Wargames Illustrated would not ship it to the States, and I got physical copy from Northstar along with the tokens and such.

[Dukewilliam]

No, they do not ship to the US.

I found it through North Star but shipping is more than double the cost of the book.

Hopefully, someone will find their freebie and be willing to part with it, if not, no biggie, I can always use One Hour Skirmish rules.

Thanks,
Steve

You can get it as a pdf from the website

Yeah, it is pretty rough. "On Military Matters" has it in the states for $15 USD which isn't completely outrageous considering the travel time and availability if shipping wasn't charged, but its about $10 to ship, making the North Star option actually cheaper (about $25 vs $22 from North Star for me personally Stateside).

If you ever shop at Northstar, I would advise waiting until you are ready to place an order and tack that on, as it is very cheap when not accounting for the shipping costs purely solely for that item. I'll let you know if I can think of another solution for you..

I just learned the issue of WI that contained the rules set was just this June! I'd assumed when I posted my OP that the rules were several years old. (I just watched a YouTube video about them.) That's why I though there might be old copies lying around. I guess I jumped the gun!

I thought it was around longer than that too. From a blog I am reading, he is saying the rules were included with the May 2024 copy of WI #247. You may have been on to something, keep an eye out for an old copy of that

Cheers, must have been a typo, 437 it is. May be loose copies from that laying around, or possibly an unopened one somewhere..
