Black Powder II Rulebook (Softback)

The rules cover every major aspect of battlefield command, including issuing orders, manoeuvring formations, musketry, artillery bombardments, cavalry charges and morale under fire. Rather than focusing purely on strict simulation, Black Powder emphasises flowing gameplay, memorable moments and the spectacle of massed armies in action.

A wide range of optional rules and scenario variations allows players to tailor battles to different historical periods, army styles and preferred levels of complexity.

• Complete Black Powder core rules
• Designed for eighteenth and nineteenth century warfare
• Command, movement and morale systems
• Rules for infantry, cavalry and artillery
• Optional special rules and army customisation
• 12 historical scenarios included

The included scenarios span multiple historical conflicts, from the War of the Spanish Succession and the Seven Years’ War to the American Revolution, Napoleonic Wars, American Civil War and Victorian colonial campaigns.

Whether recreating Waterloo, Bunker Hill or Antietam, this book provides an outstanding foundation for players looking to command dramatic historical battles on the tabletop.
