LOTOW Blood on the Plains

[Malamute]

Anyone played these.?
 I am looking for a new set of rules for small scale frontier skirmishes involving 15-20 figures per side against the backdrop of the Plains Wars circa 1860 - 1890.
Do they capture the flavour of the period. I have never played LOTOW so am totally in the dark on these?

Other than the Chris Peers small skirmish rules I think they are the olny ones around (TSATF deals with larger forces of around a hundred a side)

I have lots and lots of indians but sadly none painted. They look like they will work and have  a period feel to them in that they have addressed stats for the main tribal distinctions with Dog soldiers, contrary warriors and Apaches etc.

Hers a link to a free TSATF one actually better IMHO than the Publish Bugles and Saddles one

the rules tend to focus on characters (they are basicaly the same as the Lord of the Ring rules with the Mordheim Campaign System added).

I'm not sure if they capture the flavour of the era, as I didn't live back then, but they definatly capture the flavour of hollywood films set back then. (for example: breaking out of prisons with dynamite or horses shouldn't work in the real world, but it's fine for LotOW)

Malamute, I love LOTOW and the Blood on the Plains is my favourite supplement. You will need the core rule book as it is a supplement which only expands the base game.

TT.
