Old West Skirmish Wargames

These classic rules launched skirmish wargaming in the UK and the North America. They were played in most wargaming clubs on a regular basis. From stage coach robberies to recreations of gunfights from the pages of history, these rules introduced wargaming with individual figures. This edition includes many previously unpublished chapters.

These rules have all that is required to recreate the American Wild West on the table top. Bank robberies, saloon brawls, US cavalry actions and the showdown on the main street are made possible. The basic rules are straightforward, but there are many optional chapters that can be used as required.

Optional rules include all the glorious detail of the Wild West: Saloon Brawls, Special rules for Indians, The 'Iron Horse' and Frontier towns and for playing solo games

In addition to the full set of original rules, this edition includes extra chapters on various scenarios and campaigns

The History of Wargaming Project aims to document the development of wargaming.
