glad you like it, the rules will be available from North Star miniatures, which will be part of the Gripping Beast mega stall so now you have 2 reasons to pop over and say hello

Hi Mike, Great overview, like you not a period, that really grabbed me, until recently reading some back issues of WI. Now more purchases to make at salute!

Excellent, i'll finally get some use out of the dozens of Last of the Mohicans/FIW's figures i bought a couple of years ago. Really nice sculpts from Galloping Major, Conquest and Redoubt.

Mike,

Thanks for the review, looks like an interesting rule set. God help me at Triples! If it is as good a Saga they Alex will have another gem for us poor wargamers to pick up.

And I thought Alex was such a nice guy... :D
A few years ago I got seduced by the Redoubt FIW figures and said - mostly to myself- that I'd like a little skirmish army of say 50 figures each 'side'. Some of my friends laughed out loud and I didn't understand why. So I bought a few figures and painted them up. Really liked them and bought a few more.
Then Lance from Galloping Major came out with his range. Bought some of those as well.

Long story cut short. By now that little skirmish army is 250+ painted Indians, about 100 rangers, 70+ Coureurs de Bois and Canadian Militia, 50 or so civilians and - for the moment- a handful of French Marines. Haven't even started on the regulars yet.
Thank you very much Alex! Just what I needed :twisted:

Thanks for the excellent review Mike. Two questions:-

- Does the set come with cards for each faction or do you make your own?
- How much will the rule cost?

Many thanks - sounds like a cracking game. All set to watch Last of the Mohicans again tonight! :D

Cheers

Nick
