Description

The Men Who Would Be Kings is a set of rules designed for fighting historical or Hollywood colonial battles in the mid- to late-Nineteenth Century; from the Indian Mutiny to the Boxer Rebellion. Large scale colonial clashes tended to be one-sided affairs; but there are countless reports of brief; frantic skirmishes in every colonial war--where either side could be victorious--and these are the battles that The Men Who Would Be Kings seeks to recreate. Although focusing on the British colonial wars against the Zulus; Maoris; and others; these rules will also permit players to explore the empires of France; Germany; and other nations; as well as allowing for battles between rival native factions. Gameplay is very simple; and is driven by the quality of the officers leading your units; in the true spirit of Victorian derring-do and adventure; where larger than life characters such as the (real) Fred Burnaby and the (fictional) Harry Flashman led their troops to glory and medals; or to a horrible end at the point of a spear tip.
