Scum of the Earth. Black Powder gaming for the rest of us.
 From Nordic Weasel Games anyone tried this? it looks interesting
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Well that's an interesting question, I part wrote it.

It is intended to let you play a game with far less figures than you might need for other rules. If you have picked up a few packs of Perry at a show because you just like them (my hessian and northern militia....) or have just won some figures in on eBay and have say 19 foot, 6 horse and a gun, well that's an army.

It's aimed at getting figures on the table and having fun. Put it this way, I have some Prussian volunteer jäger; they count as 6 skirmishing, vengeful infantry. Meanwhile my French hussars may be veteran and dashing. And yes, those British could be veteran scum (they will fight hard but if there's a chance of loot or free grog, don't let them out of your sight).

I think Ivan put the beta version on wargames vault for the curious....
