Debut of Buckskins and Rangers - a new FIW Skirmish rule set

[Hitman]

Greetings Fellow LAFs. I just wanted to let you know that my third rule system, Buckskins and Rangers is finally available. I will be debuting this rule set at Historicon this week.

Buckskins and Rangers is a historical miniature game that enables and encourages the reader to recreate various battles and skirmishes of the French Indian War, while using 28mm model soldiers on their own tabletop battlefield. This game has been set up as a skirmish game in which players are assigned a unit of figures under the command of an officer, NCO or hero. Each figure is given a random number of actions that they can perform in their turn using a random card generating system while dealing with the fundamentals of warfare such as command, movement, effects of small arms fire and artillery and the role that morale plays when the stresses of battle commence.

Numerous examples are included throughout the rule set and several advanced rule sections are also included allowing players to tailor games to their own preferences when using the various scenarios included or when designing their own game scenarios.  Buckskins and Rangers rule set also includes the following items to make this rule set a complete package:

     1     Complete Rule Set
    12    French Indian War Scenarios
     1     Reproducible Summary Chart
     2     Reproducible Artillery Templates
     6     Reproducible Figure Info Sheets
   320   Figure Cards

If you are interested in picking up a copy of Buckskins and Rangers or any of my other rule systems (Green Jackets and Voltigeurs or Red Coats and War Hawks) just look for the British and French flags hanging in the game room in the evenings (Thursday, Friday or Saturday or Saturday afternoon) or stop by and say hello. I will also be at the Pre-Registration desk as well. Thanks for taking a look. Hope to see some of you at Historicon.
Regards,
Hitman

What's "Redcoats and War Hawks"?
Do you have a website?

Just found the RC & WH answer on your 1812 thread.

I'll be at Historicon and stop by and say Hi. Maybe even get in a game to try them out.

Let me know who you are. I will have extra figures available for the War of 1812 games so I can let up to 12 people play even though the game registration says 8. If the tickets are all gone, come by anyways as I have extra figures painted up for this scenario. All 3 rule sets use very similar if not identical rule mechanics so even if you want to play the FIW, the War of 1812 will give you an understanding on how to play the FIW, Napoleonic or War of 1812 rule systems.

Anyways, I look forward to seeing you there this weekend.
