Recommendation for 1920-30 Gangster games?

[Deedles]

Hi,
As the title says i am interested in rules recommendations for recreating games in the prohibition era U.S.?

[Damas]

'Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy' issue 57 did an article converting Legends of the Old West to such a theme, I have used the rules and they are very easy to use, I highly recommend the article in general and the rules in particular.

A new ruleset for gangster posse gaming was released a few weeks ago, the name had the word "Dogs" in it IIRC 

It had a campaign system and abstract rules for territory control and such.

You might also consider GASLIGHT.  It is billed as VSF, but it works equally well for pulp games.

You might want to check out the Strange Aeons rules?

They would work really well for small scale skirmishing.

Legends of the old west (show down) has some ideas on probation gaming. Personaly I love LOTOW and think its an awesome game, some folks on this here lovely forum seem to hate it though

"Mad Dogs with Guns" is a brilliant incisive -- oh, wait, I'm one of the designers 

PDF or paper versions available. North Star will be doing a 'commercial' print run for shops and dealers.
