DEVIL'S WIND, THE: Indian Mutiny 1857-58

1-196050

These rules for refighting battles from the Indian Mutiny of 1857 - 58 follow on from previous sets in this series (A Good Dusting and Washing the Spears). Designed not for competition play as much as for friendly battles, the rules focus on throwing loads of dice and feeling the 'brush of the Devil's Wind' across your cheek. Games should play out satisfactorily in two to three hours on a table about 7' x 4' or so. There is no figure, time, or ground scale to worry about, just cut straight to the action on the road to Lucknow.

The game mechanisms allow all players in the game to take on commands within an Honourable East India Company or Regular British force, with the Mutineers controlled by all of the players in accordance with the auto generation and action rules. It is equally possible for two or more players to take on opposing Mutineer and HEIC/HM forces and play the game out conventionally.

The full color rules include numerous illustrations of action on the tabletop here in GHQ, units and individual character figures; scenic items to enhance your tabletop battlefield; a sample scenario to get you started straight away; a play sheet which can be photocopied; a short reading list; and a suggested list of figure manufacturers in 28mm.
