Battlefield Game Designs: Buckskins and Rangers, New FIW Ruleset


Just found this new French and Indian War rule set released by Battlefield Game Designs: I just wanted to let you know that my third rule system, Buckskins and Rangers is finally available. I will be debuting this rule set at Historicon this week.

Buckskins and Rangers is a historical miniature game that enables and encourages the reader to recreate various battles and skirmishes of the French Indian War, while using 28mm model soldiers on their own tabletop battlefield. This game has been set up as a skirmish game in which players are assigned a unit of figures under the command of an officer, NCO or hero. Each figure is given a random number of actions that they can perform in their turn using a random card generating system while dealing with the fundamentals of warfare such as command, movement, effects of small arms fire and artillery and the role that morale plays when the stresses of battle commence. 

Numerous examples are included throughout the rule set and several advanced rule sections are also included allowing players to tailor games to their own preferences when using the various scenarios included or when designing their own game scenarios. Buckskins and Rangers rule set also includes the following items to make this rule set a complete package:

  • 1 Complete Rule Set
  • 12 French Indian War Scenarios
  • 1 Reproducible Summary Chart
  • 2 Reproducible Artillery Templates
  • 6 Reproducible Figure Info Sheets
  • 320 Figure Cards
