Rules were Muskets & Tomahawks slightly modified to allow for the militia pikes.

Great looking game, what modifications did you make to the rules?

As some of the Indians were carrying spears and the Militia had some pikes, I added a "+1" factor for anyone using a sword, spear or pike in the 1st round of melee.
Thrown weapons - spear, tomahawk, knife could be thrown prior to melee but one had to win the melee and take the position to recover them - it made the players think about weapon use.
I did not use any of the Traits etc outlined in the rules as these were convention games and they need to be fast play.
If you want a copy of the playsheet I can send you one.
