The Napoleonic Wars are in full swing in Europe... Meanwhile, in North America, blue-clad American troops face off against savage Indians armed with tomahawk and scalping knife. But wait. The Indians are on foot, not galloping around on horses. And they have help. They have cannon, and cavalry, and disciplined scarlet-clad British infantry. On the flanks, American frontiersmen in Buckskin face off against Canadian militia in green, black or brown. These are not the ordered fields of Europe. This is the wooded wilderness of North America, where artillery pieces are a rarity and cavalry almost non-existent. Welcome to the Anglo-American war of 1812. It's Napoleonics, but not as you know it... A complete ruleset for recreating the War of 1812 on land in miniature, Whuppin' John Bull allows you to refight the small-scale but desperate battles that established the United States as a respected world power. Use of d10 dice exclusively. Rules for infantry, cavalry, guns, howitzers, and rockets. Sample battle to illustrate the game - the battle of Malcolm's Mills. Includes an easy to follow ready reference sheet. —description from the publisher
