Gents,

A group in the US of A is play testing Rifle & Spears and has put up the first of hopefully more posts on their experience using the system. For those that are unfamiliar, Rifle & Spears are the Studio Tomahawk Musket & Tomahawk rules I’ve been developing for the colonial period. The post is on another blog and so I shall redirect (see link below). It’s great looking game, a rumbling narrative and has lots of interesting elements to it…a big 6 player affair as well.

“We ran our first game of Rifles & Spears last night with great fun and success. A total of six players (two completely new to the Muskets & Tomahawks rules system) played…”

Great looking game! I enjoyed the AAR and scenario as well. I plan to use this scenario with my favorite set of rules, The Sword And The Flame.
Cheers,
JB

Good stuff! I'll give this scenario a try with Sharp Practice and my home-brew rules.

Must have been an exciting and very enjoyable game! Eager to know more about Rifles & Spears rules!

M&T is my favourite rules system. R&S is a great continuation of it. :)

Very nice! You do a lot of great mods. I am interested in your mods for KPW too. Any chance you could compile these things into a single file? Otherwise there's a lot of cut and paste and hunting on your blog to get something usable. I'd be happy to help...

Cheers
