Mimi and Toutou Go Forth is a set of simple naval rules for WWI naval battles on Lake Tanganyika. Obscure, to be sure, but intriguing.
Miniatures Rules
Heroes of Victoria’s Empire
Heroes of Victoria’s Empire is Bob Cordery’s
set of Colonial wargames rules specifically written to reflect the importance of heroic individuals (and villains!) during the expansion of the British Empire. The rules were written with the objective that they should be fun, and should enable a battle to be fought to a conclusion in no more than two hours using approximately 60 – 100 15mm-scale individually-based figures on a small tabletop (3¼ foot x 2½ foot/100 cm x 75 cm). It was also important that they should enable the story of the battle to unfold in front of the players.
Restless Natives Colonial Rules
Restless Natives is a set of free wargames rules for playing wargames in the colonial period. They’re intended for 15mm figures, and use a card-based movement and special events system.
Bundock and Bayonet Colonial Rules
Bob Cordery offers a set of simple colonial rules called “Bundock and Bayonet”. They’re designed for either 15mm or 25mm figures.
Legio Quaternarius Ancients Rules
Legio Quaternarius is a set of free wargames rules for ancients, played on a square grid. The author writes of the rules that they are:
Sweet and Legion! inspired fast Ancients Rules; we originally played them on a hex gridded table, but they should work fine using a Table with a 3″ square grid as well (for 25mm figures, mostly mounted on 60mm frontage stands). The rules are very ,uch of the “Rock, Paper Scissors Type”, being ultimaterly inspired by the WRG Ancients (? 3rd or 4th edition by this time)., which I played a few times but found too fussy for my tastes… plus those reactions tests; way too time consuming for what usually resulted in “Carry on as Ordered”.
