Description
The Men Who Would Be Kings is a set of rules for recreating the intense, often one-sided battles of the mid- to late-Nineteenth Century colonial era. While large-scale clashes were rare, brief skirmishes were common, and these are the battles that this book seeks to bring to life. By focusing on the British colonial wars against various native groups, as well as allowing for battles between rival factions and other European empires, players can explore a wide range of historical conflicts. Gameplay is straightforward, with the quality of the officers leading units being the key factor in determining the outcome of battles. This approach captures the spirit of Victorian adventure and derring-do, where larger-than-life characters played a significant role in shaping the course of history. This book provides a simple yet engaging framework for players to recreate these pivotal moments in history, allowing them to experience the thrill of colonial warfare in a unique and immersive way.
