This Very Ground is a Small Unit Skirmish system designed to recreate the French & Indian War in North America at 15-40mm.
It is a fast playing and easy to learn system that easily handles the various aspects of 18th century warfare. The various fighting styles and the nature of warfare in this war are captured within the rules. Units use various formations such as formed and skirmish, as well as different volumes of firing to capture the limitations and effectiveness of muzzle-loading black-powder weapons. Melee is fast and brutal. Terrain plays a major part in any engagement and can help or hinder the goals of the player. All of these elements come together to recreate the tactics and essence of warfare of the period in North America without using charts to produce combat results and without the need for tedious record keeping.A series of skirmish scenarios allow you to get started playing right away.
The Book Contains:
* The rules: Movement, Terrain, Firing, Melee, Formations, and Morale.
* A series of skirmish scenarios designed to tell the story of the
Delaware war against the English as well as introduce scenario
special rules such as attacking a frontier blockhouse.
* Simple army lists that allow you to create virtually any kind of
force that fought in the French & Indian War: Indian Warbands,
Provincial infantry, Rangers and Coeur De Bois, as well as
European Regulars (including Line, Light Infantry, and Grenadiers).
Players familiar with our WWII system, Disposable Heroes & Coffin for Seven Brothers, will be comfortale with the playbility of the system, but will also be challenged by the differences in tactical applications. It is important to note that these rules are not a man-on-man system, but focused on small-unit actions. Players will be manuevering and fighting with units of 5-20 men. |
