This Very Ground - Victory or Death Wargaming Rules 2nd Edition (PDF - Digital Version)

It has been a real pleasure to revisit This Very Ground. It had been a long time coming since the original was published in
2005. I hope you enjoy the new edition of the rules and I hope they are a true improvement over the last edition. I made a
lot of changes to the system, but my goal was to maintain the playability of the original while adding tactical nuance and
flexibility that brings out more of the flavor of skirmish warfare in North America from the early 1600s through the early
1800s, with a focus on King Philip’s War through the War of 1812.
I wanted to capture as much of the tactical feel of the period as I could, while allowing players to field forces from each of
these periods. I also wanted the lists to reflect the differences in weapons, unit types, and unit qualities across these wars
as well. With that said, they will have some similarities. Militia from the French & Indian War are still going to generally
be poorer troops than their regular counterparts, and these lists are scaled to each other as well. With that said, I wanted the
lists to also act as a basic guide for creating your own forces for these wars. It is truly impossible to present all of the unit
types and variations for each of these forces across four wars. There will always be something missing in even the most
exhaustive list. Players are urged to see these lists more as unit archetypes than lists for specific units. It is suggested that
players tinker with these lists to put together the types of units and forces they want to see on the tabletop. These lists are a
way to do that and allow both sides in a game to be on the same page as far as unit stats and weapons.
This Very Ground: Victory or Death certainly has come a long way from the original French & Indian War focus of the first
edition. It is my hope that this has not diluted the rules but strengthened them and broadened them to allow you to play
a variety of wars and field a variety of units and still maintain the tactical feel for these periods. And these four wars are
not the only conflict you can use these rules for! This system will work for nearly any small-scale skirmish in the musket
era. You could use this system to game the wars in the Caribbean and in Spanish America or on the battlefields of Europe.
Of course, it is still meant as a small-scale skirmish game. With the basic tactical unit being a platoon, the focus is still on
1:1 scale infantry combat. But this shouldn’t stop players from zooming into a small area of a bigger battle. The scenarios
presented here of Parker’s Revenge and the Battle of Lundy Lane are exactly that. I felt it was important to showcase how
easily the system will handle skirmishes up to bigger battles yet keeping a skirmish level of playability. It is suggested to
play most games using single-based 15-28mm miniatures on a 4'x6' table. Players may wish to field much larger forces on
up to whole companies per side, or to use unit-based miniatures but record casualties on unit rosters.

Price of Glory (WW1 / RCW / Interwar Skirmish) Wargaming Rules (PDF - Digital Version)
By Keith Stine.
$15
This is a downloadable and printable PDF file for your licensed use only.
You will need Adobe Reader version 10 or later.
Price of Glory is a wargame system intended to recreate small unit skirmishes during World War I. The models in Price of Glory each represent one man or vehicle (1:1 scale). The smallest unit in most World War I armies was a platoon of 30 or more men. This system generally breaks units down into groups of 5-10 men for ease of play and to represent slices of time. While these subunits below the platoon level are not necessarily historically accurate on a structural basis, the system uses them to break the game into the actions of small groups of men (units) over time (game turns).
We developed this system to fill a demand for a set of World War I rules designed to fit in between the available rules that focus on individual combat or large battles of company size or larger. The typical game of Price of Glory will contain around 30-50 models a side, plus the occasional vehicle rather than the 100 or more needed for many other systems. We intend this system to be used to fight battles between almost every conceivable type of World War I combatant and on every type of battlefield. From the tenacious defenders of France facing German Stormtroopers in the battle of Verdun, to the grinding slog of the British and their tank attacks during Cambrai, to the various colonial troops fighting in the harsh terrain of the African wilds, all the way to the White and Red armies slugging it out during the Russian Civil War. This is not just a system for trench warfare. Virtually any conflict and setting during the early 19th century up until World War II can be gamed using these rules. We hope you find the system easily adaptable to your needs.

No More Room In Hell: Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse is a stand alone miniatures game system usable with 15mm-28mm figures that allows you to create a group of characters amidst the end of the living world and the start of the living-dead world. Who will survive? Who will feed the zeds? It's up to you to select the skills.
Zombies. Be it slow moving re-animated dead (what us diehards refer to as Romero Zombies, the one true Zombie if you ask me), or the running Zombie that may just be an “infected person” we see so often these days there’s no question that Zombies captivate us, at least I assume they do if you’re holding this book. A great Zombie movie reveals to its audience that the facade of safe and cozy “civilization” we’ve wrapped ourselves in is a sham. A cold and terrifying lie whose truth is rarely revealed until it’s too late. We perpetuate this lie by telling ourselves that people are generally good and that our government has the resources and preparation needed to take real good care of us. That’s not a bad thing. I do it too, we all do it. Why wouldn’t we tell ourselves that? You need to be able to sleep at night right? But what happens when the delicate veil of order gets pulled back or just torn to shreds and we learn quickly that we really aren’t protected, and that other people’s motivations aren’t always as noble as we had thought? What happens when the chips are really down? And what if those chips are corpses?...And they get back up again? What happens is that you get one fiction’s most game-able genres and that’s where No More Room In Hell comes in. No More Room In Hell will lay out every detail you need to play out nearly any Zombie scenario you’ve seen in a movie, read in a book, or played in a video game, and then some. Strangers stuck in a farmhouse becoming surrounded by the undead during the first night of a mysterious outbreak. Survivors trying to fortify a warehouse store or take over an abandoned prison with the intent of riding out the apocalypse in safety and maybe even comfort. Bandits that attempt to raid a camp of Survivors to steal as many precious supplies as they can grab. These rules will give you the ability to play out all of these scenarios. There are also rules for campaign play that will show the wear and tear that your Survivors succumb to as they take their journey through a world being overrun. So grab that shotgun, sharpen that machete and hope to God you can find enough canned food to stay alive for another day because…There’s No More Room In Hell!!!

Psycho-Slasher: The Game
By Chalfant Conley
$15.00
Psycho-Slasher: The Game is a table top miniatures game designed as an homage to the low budget horror films of the late 1970’s through the late 1980’s. This was a decade filled with slasher films and slasher film sequels. Notable movie inspirations for Psycho-Slasher are the
Robert Hiltzik’s Sleepaway Camp (1983), Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), and of course, Friday the 13th (1980), Friday the 13th Part II (1981), Part III (1982), and onwards… a slasher film franchise that continued (for better or worse) for two more decades… so far! I certainly don’t want to forget my personal favorite set, John’ Carpenter’s Halloween (1978) and Halloween II (1981).... another franchise that continued (for good or bad, I am looking at you Halloween III) for two more decades.
The game mechanics of Psycho-Slasher are meant to help recreate the feel and plot of those movies. The players (shortly to be known as the “Writers”) will enact the parts of the Slashers, with limited control of the “Pawns”, who are the targets of the “Slashers”. The Slashers are not allowed to interact directly with each other. They are too busy vying for top billing! What they can do in the game, is use the Pawns against each other. Through the course of the game, some of those Pawns will develop into Heroes or Heroines… becoming formidable foes by the end of the game to all of the Slashers. If your Slasher happens to fall to a Hero that you helped create, don’t feel too bad about it. You helped move the movie story line along to its natural conclusion.
